SRI.NAGARAJ NARAYANAN, SC, TDB FOR R1-5 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.27489 of 2008 ------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd October, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner who is working as Special Grade Sub Group Officer in Thiruvalla Sub Group, was transferred and posted as Junior Superintendent in the office of the Assistant Devaswom Commissioner, Ulloor, by Ext.P1 order of transfer dated, 27.8.2008, issued by the third respondent. Aggrieved by Ext.P1, the petitioner moved the Travancore Devaswom Board by submitting Ext.P2 appeal dated 29.8.2008. The grievance voiced by the petitioner is that though on Ext.P2 appeal, the Board has passed an order staying the transfer as per Ext.P1, the Secretary of the Board, the 2nd respondent in the writ petition, is not issuing consequential orders giving effect to the order of stay passed by the Board on the appeal. 2. When the writ petition came up for admission today, Sri.Nagaraj Narayanan, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Travancore Devaswom Board submitted that W.P.(C) No.27489 of 2008 2 the Secretary has issued orders giving effect to the order of stay passed by the Board on Ext.P2 appeal. Such being the situation, no further orders are called for in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. P.N.RAVINDRAN, JUDGE nj.
