Learned Standing Counsel for the KSEB submits that the petitioner being a cashier, administrative exigencies have compelled the Board to retain him in the same station for some more time. 2. The petitioner has preferred Ext.P5 before the Chief Engineer for taking a decision in this regard. 3. The writ petition is disposed of directing the Chief Engineer to consider the petitioner's request as contained in Ext.P5 and see that appropriate action is taken to relieve the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
