J U D G M E N T The petitioner seeks for a direction to the 3rd respondent to forthwith relieve the petitioner from Government Law College, Ernakulam and for a further direction to the 4th respondent to admit the petitioner to the Government Law College, Thrissur on the basis of Exhibit P2. 2. The petitioner is presently admitted in the Government Law College, Ernakulam and he wants a transfer to the Government Law College, Thrissur. The 5th respondent, who is from Vaikom in Kottayam District, as per the Centralized Allotment Process, was admitted in the Government Law College, Thrissur. He requires transfer to Government Law College, Ernakulam. 3. The petitioner has moved before this Court after jointly moving the authorities for mutual transfer along with the 5th respondent. In the light of clause (7) of Heading No.16 of Centralized Allotment Process, there has arisen some difficulty for mutual transfer. It is pointed out that the said clause was in W.P.(C) No.9452/2010 2 operation only till 31.01.2010, upto the closing of the allotment process. 4. Learned Government Pleader on instructions submitted that the respective Principals of the Colleges have no power to consider the request for transfer of the candidates. The allotment is by Centralized Allotment Process and it is not clear now whether any other students are having any claim as per their option also. It is therefore, submitted that the remedy of the petitioner and the 5th respondent is to move the Government in the matter. Therefore, the learned counsel for the petitioner sought for a permission to allow the petitioner to move the Government. If a detailed representation is filed before the 1st respondent in the matter, the 1st respondent will consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the representation. The petitioner will produce a copy of the writ petition along with a copy of this judgment for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
