He is a native of Thrissur District and sought for a posting in Thrissur district. As an alternative he also sought for a posting in Tirur as evidenced by Exhibit P1. Pursuant to the direction issued by this Court in Exhibit P3 judgment, Government considered the petitioner‘s request and vide Exhibit P4 directed that petitioner be given a posting in Tirur Municipality. According to the petitioner, taking note of the fact that he is due to retire in 2009 he should have been given a posting in Thrissur District. 2. I heard Learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. 3. It cannot be said that Government has committed any error of jurisdiction while passing Exhibit P4 order. After all Thirur was one of the places of choice indicated by the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that four W.P ( C) No. 15571 of 2008 2 vacancies are due to arise in Thrissur Municipality in the near future and that he may be permitted to make a request for accommodating him in any one of such vacancies. It is open to the petitioner to make a claim in relation to the same and the fact that he has now been given a posting in Tirur will not stand in the way of Government considering his request on merits. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No. 15571 of 2008 2
