This appeal is filed against an interim order passed by the learned single Judge in W.P(C)No.19271/2008. The writ petition itself is to be heard. Except in exceptional circumstances, Division Bench will not interfere in interim orders passed by learned single Judges. Even if Ext.P15 is illegal, as contended by the appellant, she can be transferred as she is a transferable employee. Being a lady, even if she is transferred, she shall be transferred only to the neighbouring Districts if the authorities feel that transfer is necessary even without considering Ext.P15. With that modification, the writ appeal is disposed of. We are not expressing any opinion regarding the merits of the writ petition and parties are free to approach the learned single Judge for an early disposal of the writ petition.
