RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.5087 OF 2011 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 31st day of March, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner in this writ petition has sought for a direction commanding the respondents to implement Exts.P2 and P3. It is a case where the petitioner was working as U.D.Clerk in the District Educational Office, Pathanamthitta from 14.5.2005 to 25.7.2009. While so, the petitioner was transferred to the present station as per Ext.P1 order which was challenged before the Director of Public Instruction. After conducting an enquiry, the Director of Public Instruction, as per Ext.P3, directed the Deputy Director of Education to cancel the order of transfer and accommodate the petitioner in a convenient station. 2. This Court passed an interim order dated 01.03.2011 directing the Deputy Director to pass appropriate orders as directed in Ext.P3. Consequently, he has passed an order whereby the petitioner is transferred to the office of the Assistant Educational Officer, Aranmula. Aggrieved by the same, the W.P.(C) No.5087/2011 2 petitioner has again approached the Director of Public Instruction by Ext.P7 appeal filed along with I.A.No.6033/2011. Therein the petitioner has also sought for a stay of Ext.P5(a) by which he is transferred to the office of the Assistant Educational Officer, Aranmula. There will be a direction to the Director of Public Instruction to consider Ext.P7 appeal in accordance with law and pass final orders within a period of one month. It is open to the Director of Public Instruction to pass appropriate orders on the request of the petitioner to stay the order impugned. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R.
