IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN THURSDAY, THE 22ND OCTOBER 2009 / 30TH ASWINA 1931 WP(C).No. 29939 of 2009(J) -------------------------- PETITIONER(S): --------------- P.THULASEEDHARAN, HEAD VEHICLE SUPERVISOR, KSRTC, KATTAKKADA, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY ADV. SRI.R.ANILKUMAR RESPONDENT(S): --------------- 1. KERALA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION, REP. BY MANAGING DIRECTOR, KSRTC, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 2. DISTRICT TRANSPORT OFFICER, KSRTC, KATTAKKADA, TRIVANDRUM. BY SRI.NANDAGOPAL NAMBIAR, S.C. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.29939 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of October, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner, a Vehicle Supervisor in the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation who presently works in Kattakkada, has been transferred to Poovar. Earlier, he was working at Kilimanoor. There were certain disciplinary proceedings. Whatever that be, it is not appropriate for this Court to now assume that the different transfers which the petitioner states as having been made within a period of six months are punitive in nature. This is because the petitioner has not exhausted his remedies before the official superiors in the establishment. It is inappropriate for the writ court to meddle with transfer orders which have not even got appropriate attention of the Managing Director of the KSRTC. This is all the more so because transfer orders are essentially administrative matters. The petitioner states also that he is due to retire by the end of the current financial year. Under such circumstances, it is directed that if WPC.29939/09 Page numbers the petitioner makes appropriate application voicing his grievances before the Managing Director of KSRTC, that will be looked into and appropriate orders issued within a period of three weeks of receipt of such representation. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. kkb.24/10.
