Petitioners inter alia contend that seniors to them in service are retained in their respective stations. But persons like the petitioners who have lesser tenure in service, have been shifted therefrom. This shall also be considered by the Chief Engineer. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P3 to P5. If the petitioners' claim are acceptable, revised orders of transfer shall also be passed by the second respondent. Needful shall be done within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
