BY ADV.SRI.J.KRISHNA KUMAR - STANDING COUNSEL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.34577 of 2007 N ------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of November, 2007. JUDGMENT Petitioner is working as a Head Clerk in the Water Authority. He contends that in the 2007, he has been subjected to frequent transfers. Apparently, the said transfers did not take effect, inasmuch as the petitioner has continued in Kozhikode because the substitute did not join duty. Petitioner's grievance is that several juniors to him were transferred to places of their choice and in spite of the fact that he is due to retire in 2 ½ years, his claim for a posting at a place of his choice is not considered as such. Petitioner has detailed his grievance in Ext.P10 representation pending before the Managing Director. After having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the standing counsel also, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to bestow serious attention on the grievance as outlined in Ext.P10 and take a decision thereon within one month from the W.P.(C).NO.34577/07 :: 2 :: date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The transfer of the petitioner ordered under Ext.P11 will be provisional and subject to the decision to be taken on Ext.P10. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
