THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/03/2010 DELIVERED THE COURT, ON THE SAME DAY, FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 9428 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 19th day of March, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext. P1 order, whereby the petitioner has been transferred to Calicut. The petitioner's contention is that the petitioner joined the present station only on 5-7-2007 and as per the transfer norms, normally a person should not be transferred before completing 3 years in a station. Since the petitioner has not completed 3 years in the present station, he is not liable to be transferred, is his contention. The petitioner therefore submitted Ext. P2 petition before the respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P2 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P2 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Till orders are passed on Ext. P 2, the petitioner shall be retained at the present station, even if relieved. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
