TO JUDGE C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.23513 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 31st August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Senior Auditor (Concurrent Auditor) in Thirunelli Service Co-operative Bank Group. He came to the present station pursuant to Ext.P1 order dated 31.5.2011. He joined the said post on 17.6.2011. The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P3 order dated 24.8.2011 transferring him from Thirunelli to Kozhikode District. True that, in Ext.P3 it is stated that the transfer is effected taking into account the public interest and administrative exigency. However, it is not evident as to what exactly is the public interest and administrative exigency that occurred subsequent to 17.6.2011. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that pursuant to Ext.P3 order the petitioner has not so far been relieved and that apart, no substitute has been posted in his place. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of as hereunder:- The petitioner may prefer a representation raising his grievances against Ext.P3 before the Government within 10 days from the receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case of receipt of such a representation within the above stipulated time, the Secretary to WP(C).No.23513/2011 2 Government, Co-operative Department shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of representation. In case the petitioner was not relieved pursuant to Ext.P3 as on today, he shall be permitted to continue till a decision is taken on such representation. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
