THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ALONG WITH W.P.(C)NO.15092 OF 2011 ON 06/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) Nos.15069 & 15092 OF 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of June, 2011 JUDGMENT In these two writ petitions, the petitioners are staff working in the Government Model Hospital and W&C Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram. They have been transferred to various places as per Ext.P2 transfer order. They are challenging the same. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as also the learned Government Pleader. From the transfer order itself, it is seen that the transfer is on the basis of a Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau's report, wherein a prima facie case of harassing the patients and their relatives in the hospital at the hands of the petitioners has been reported. I am of opinion that since the petitioners do not have any case that the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau, Thiruvananthapuram has any malafides against them and the transferring authority has only decided to transfer them to protect the patients and relatives, there is no case made out against the transfer in question. Accordingly the writ petitions are dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd
