RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.20107 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Higher Secondary School Teacher (Chemistry) in Government Higher Secondary School, Thadathiparamba in Malappuram District. He is a native of Thiruvananthapuram district. The grievance of the petitioner pertains to the overlooking of his seniority and other preferential claims in the matter of transfer. In response to Ext.P4 circular dated 11.6.2010, the petitioner has submitted an application for transfer. Ext.P5 is the provisional transfer list published by the second respondent. As per the same, the second respondent has also invited objections against provisional transfer list. Accordingly, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P6 objections before the second respondent. The prayer of the petitioner in this Writ Petition is for a direction to the second respondent to consider Ext.P6 prior to the finalisation of Ext.P5. 2. Evidently, the second respondent has invited objections, if any, from the concerned teachers against Ext.P5 and, therefore, the second respondent is bound to consider Ext.P6 objections submitted by the W.P.(C) NO.20107/2010 2 petitioner. In the said circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider Ext.P6 objection submitted by the petitioner expeditiously, at any rate, before finalising Ext.P5 provisional transfer list in case it has not already been finalised.
