Learned counsel submits that the above order of transfer is totally unwarranted since petitioner is due to retire on November 30, 2007. Though I do not propose to deal with the merit of the contentions raised by the petitioner, I am of the view that the authority concerned may have to listen to the woes of the petitioner as aired by him in this writ petition. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 representation in this regard before the respondent no.2 highlighting his grievances. 3. Therefore the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.3 to take a decision on Ext.P3 with compassion and sympathy that the request made by the petitioner therein may deserve. This shall be done within one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Till then Ext. P2 shall be kept in abeyance. A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jp
