ANIL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.30634 OF 2009 (Y) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T By Ext.P1 order, petitioner was transferred from Karukone to Punalur. According to the petitioner, he made Ext.P2 and P3 representations objecting to Ext.P1 and thereafter Ext.P4 report was submitted by the 3rd respondent to the 4th respondent. Petitioner states that the transfer order has been issued on the wrong assumption that he resides at Agasthyacode and that as a matter of fact he lives in a place at Alenchery. 2. First of all a reading of Ext.P4 itself shows that the transfer has been ordered in the exigencies of service. That apart, Ext.P4 shows that, because of the transfer, the petitioner is only to travel 5 Km more. Even if the petitioner is not staying at Agasthyacode as stated in Ext.P3, his electoral card Ext.P5 shows that he is a resident of Alenchery, which is also in suburb of Punalur itself. In these circumstances, I do not find any arbitrariness warranting interference. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC /09 :2 :
