C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.17938 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 4th July, 2011 JUDGMENT This writ petition has been filed mainly challenging Ext.P1 order of transfer whereby the petitioner was transferred from Kottayam to Payyannur. A scanning of the contentions raised in this writ petition would reveal that the petitioner is not attributing any mala fides. The only contention is that open vacancies are available in Kottayam District itself and therefore, there was absolutely no justification or necessity to transfer the petitioner from Kottayam to Payyannur. Raising such grievances and claims the petitioner has preferred Ext.P3 representation before the first respondent. In view of the fact that the petitioner has already preferred Ext.P3 representation before the first respondent, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P3 in case he is competent to consider the grievances raised in Ext.P3 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case he is not the WP(C).No.17938/2011 2 competent authority to consider the grievances he shall forward the same to the appropriate authority competent to consider the same within one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In such event, the said authority shall consider and pass orders thereon within a period of one month from the date of its receipt. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
