This writ petition has been filed challenging Ext.P1 order of transfer whereby he was transferred and posted to Village Office, Anaviratty. The main contention of the petitioner is that he came to the present station only on 3.1.2011 and therefore, the present order of transfer violates the transfer norms. The petitioner should have been permitted to continue in the present station for a period of three years, it is contended. If the petitioner has grievances against Ext.P1 he has to raise such contentions before the Land Revenue Commissioner. In that view of the matter this writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to raise grievance against Ext.P1 before the Land Revenue Commissioner, within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. In case,the petitioner prefers any representation to raise such grievance against Ext.P1, the same shall be considered by theLand Revenue WPC.No.21456/2011 : 2 : Commissioner, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. Needless to say that in case, that person/persons likely to be affected shall also be put on notice before taking a decision on such representation. To enable the Land Revenue Commissioner to comply with the direction the petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the said authority. It is made clear that this Court has not made any observation as to the merits of the contentions. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A TO jUDGE
