MRS.ANU SIVARAMAN, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/12/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.32375 of 2009(N) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 3rd day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a working as a Forest Guard in Malappuram District. According to him, inter district transfers were allowed without following the Rules, against which he made representations, which resulted in Ext.P6 order. According to the petitioner, this order was passed without giving time to the petitioner to produce documents and therefore he has filed Ext.P7 objection. Ext.P7 was forwarded to the 2nd respondent under cover of Ext.P8 letter. Even in spite of lapse of almost two years, orders on Ext.P7 have not been passed and therefore, this writ petition is filed. 2. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that Ext.P7 has been received by the 2nd respondent and that comments have been called for from the 3rd respondent. It is stated that once the comments sought for are received, the 2nd respondent will pass orders on Ext.P7. 3. From this it is obvious that Ext.P7 is still engaging the WP(C) No.32375/2009 -2- attention of the 2nd respondent and therefore, all that is needed in this writ petition is to direct the 2nd respondent to expedite orders on Ext.P7. This the 2nd respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible at any rate, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
