GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J ------------------- W.P.(C).19670/2010 -------------------- Dated this the 24th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P6 to the extent he is posted to Kanjirappally on promotion as Joint Block Development Officer. According to the petitioner, there are vacancies in existence in Ernakulam itself and therefore he ought not to have been transferred, particularly having regard to the fact that he is to retire on 31.3.2011. 2. Evidently Ext.P6 is a promotion order and therefore petitioner cannot take objection to Ext.P6 as if it is a case of regular transfer. Therefore, I do not find any merit in the challenge against Ext.P6. 3. Be that as it may, if there are vacancies in Ernakulam and if the petitioner has any request for accommodating him against the said vacancies, it will be open to the petitioner to move an application to the 1st respondent in which event, 1st respondent W.P.(C).19670/10 2 shall consider the request of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in the matter. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
