RAVIKUMAR, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = WP(C).No.23999 of 2011-Y. = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 5th September, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioners are working as Junior Employment Officers under the 4th respondent. Ext.P1 is the list of Junior Employment Officers fit for promotion to the cadre of Employment Officer for the year 2011. Obviously, the petitioners are included in the said list at Sl.Nos.9 and 10. Ext.P2 is the order issued pursuant to Ext.P1. As per Ext.P2 the first petitioner has been posted as Employment Officer in Town Employment Exchange at Kochi and the second petitioner has been appointed as such at Town Employment Exchange, Kayamkulam. This writ petition has been filed on being aggrieved by the delay in the matter of issuance of relieving orders to enable them to join their respective transferred places as per Ext.P2. Obviously, Exts.P1 and P2 would reveal that the petitioners are transferred and posted as Employment Officers to the places mentioned WP(C).No.23999/2011-Y. 2 thereunder. In the said circumstances, I do not find any reason for delaying issuance of relieving orders to enable the petitioners to join at the transferred places. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 4th respondent to issue relieving orders to the petitioners, in terms of Ext.P2, to enable them to join at their respective transferred places. This shall be done, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. C.T. RAVIKUMAR, (JUDGE) Kvs/-
