TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR & K.VINOD CHANDRAN, JJ. .................................................................... Writ Appeal No.1805 of 2011 .................................................................... Dated this the 28th day of November, 2011. JUDGMENT Ramachandran Nair, J. Appellants were writ petitioners before the learned Single Judge and the prayer before the learned Single Judge and before us is for direction to the respondents to implement the transfer orders whereunder appellants stand transferred from Kasargode District to Quilon District. Learned Single Judge allowed the claim by granting four months time based on another judgment in W.P.(C) No.21376/2011. It is not very clear from the judgment as to whether the time granted to the respondents in this case is the same as the four months granted in the other case which is effective from 19.8.2011. If the appellants' case is also covered by the above judgment, then certainly within another month appellants will get appropriate orders. So much so, we do not find any pressing grievance for the appellants as of now. In principle we uphold the finding of the learned Single Judge because transfer orders have to be implemented without affecting the W.A. 1805/2011 2 cash collection of the Electricity Board. It is also true that the transfers have to be effected after finding substitutes for the sensitive posts left by the transferred persons. In any case since the appellants have served for long time in Kasargod and they have been already transferred in July, 2011, we do not find any justification in not implementing the transfer orders. We, therefore, dispose of the Writ Appeal directing respondents to take immediate steps to implement the transfer orders at the earliest and in any case within the time stated by the learned Single Judge.
