BY K.S.ANIL, SC, KSEB THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.4795 of 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT The fact stated in the writ petition justifies an expeditious and serious intervention by the board in giving the petitioner a posting of Senior Superintendent in a place of his choice. The petitioner who has been promoted as senior superintendent by Ext.P3 order, was transferred from Pala, Thodupuzha. He is aggrieved by this transfer since his wife is stated to suffer from stage IV breast cancer. The petitioner has been constrained to seek a convenient posting as per Ext.P4 filed before the first respondent. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the standing counsel for KSEB also, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4 within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. I make it clear that unless there is a serious difficulty, petitioner must be given a posting as sought for by him or in a nearby place without any delay. V.GIRI, JUDGE csl
