TO JUDGE C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.23006 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 25th August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner who is presently working as Assistant Director in the State Planning Board filed this writ petition challenging Ext.P4 order of transfer to the extent it ordered his transfer and posting to Pathanamthitta District and the third respondent's posting to Kottayam District. Various contentions have been raised to assail Ext.P4. Evidently, the petitioner has already moved the first respondent through Ext.P5 representation raising his grievances against Ext.P4. In the said circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P5 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the third respondent as well.
