BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 25197 OF 2008 Y ==================== Dated this the 15th day of September, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioners who are Sl.Nos.17,29,31 and 33 among the list of applicants for general transfer in 2008-09 evidenced by Ext.P3, pray that their claims for transfer be considered to the available vacancies before filling up the same. It is also seen that two of the petitioners have filed Exts. P4 and P4(a) representations before the respondent in this respect. 2. Though the learned Government Pleader has a case that in so far as the person at Sl.No.17, the first petitioner, is concerned, his claim has already been considered, learned counsel for the petitioners contradict the same by contending that their claim is only against the vacancies which are still available. If this be the factual position, I see no justification to decline the relief of the counsel for the petitioners for a direction to the respondent to consider the case of the petitioners for transfer to the schools indicated against their names in Ext.P3. 3. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the claim of the petitioners for transfer as above, shall be considered by the respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one WPC 25197/08 :2 : month of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the respondent for orders. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
