RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.24841 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2011. J U D G M E N T Aggrieved by the order Ext.P1 transferring the petitioner from the institution at Peerumedu to Rajakkadu as against the 4th respondent, this writ petition has been filed. 2. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the action is really vindictive and amounts to harassment. Various details have been given in the writ petition to contend for the position that the order of transfer is arbitrary and illegal. 3. Learned Government Pleader on getting instructions submitted that there was an enquiry involving the petitioner and another teacher Smt.K.Geetha and the Joint Director, Curriculum Development Centre recommended the transfer of both the teachers. I am not going into the details of the same as the same will prejudice the contentions of the petitioner in the appeal to be filed. W.P.(C) No.24841/2011 2 Since the petitioner has got a remedy to challenge the order of transfer before the Government, if an appeal is filed by the petitioner within a period of ten days along with a copy of this judgment, the same will be entertained and appropriate orders will be passed, after hearing the petitioner, the 4th respondent and any other affected parties, within a period of six weeks thereafter. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
