True copy tga K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.21105 of 2007-K ------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of July, 2007. J U D G M E N T The petitioner has approached this court, challenging the order dated 4-7-2007, trasferring him from Ernakulam to Palghat. This court, by an interim order directed to retain the petitioner at Ernakulam, having regard to his health condition. Now, the Government, by Ext.P12 order dated 18-7-2007 has cancelled that order and has posted him in the office of the Deputy Director of Education, Ernakulam, as Assistant Provident Fund Officer. In view of the above position, the writ petition has become infructuous. It appears that the petitioner is dissatisfied with his posting as Assistant Provident Fund Officer. He would prefer to continue as Administrative Assistant. If that be so, the petitioner may represent before the competent authority, to redress his grievance. Subject to that right, the Writ Petition is closed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. MS
