RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: NIL // TRUE COPY // Rs/ V. GIRI, J. ------------------------------- WP(C).NO. 15343 of 2007 --------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of July, 2008. JUDGMENT The challenge in this writ petition is against the order of transfer Ext.P3 by which the petitioner has been transferred from the Junior Superintendent's office in the Irrigation Department at Chittoor to the Kanjikode Office. The writ petition was filed on 17.5.2007. Service in the writ petition has not been completed so far. Even otherwise I am satisfied that there are no grounds to interfere with the order of transfer which only transfers the petitioner from Chittoor to Kanjikode. In the circumstances I do not find any ground to interfere with the order of transfer. Nevertheless it is open to the petitioner to prosecute Ext.P3 . Subject to this the writ petition is disposed of . V. GIRI, JUDGE. Pmn/ WPC. /2008 2
