DISTRICT TREASURY OFFICER, CIVIL STATION, KASARGODE – 671 103. 2. THE DIRECTOR OF TREASURIES, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM – 695 001. 3. THE COMMISSIONER AND SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, FINANCE DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM – 695 001. SR. GOVERNMENT PLEADER MR.P.NANDAKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C) No.24127 of 2010 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 2nd day of August 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a Last Grade Servant in the Sub Treasury. He was posted in the Sub Treasury, Hosdurg and subsequently, as per Ext.P3 order, he has been transferred and posted to Sub Treasury, Kasargod. This writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P3 order. 2. Relying on Ext.P4 Government Order dated 10.9.2004, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Clause 10 of Ext.P4 Government Order mandates that there should not be any general transfer for Last Grade Servants. A reading of Clause 10 also indicates that Last Grade Servants are eligible to have posting in their native districts or districts of their choice. Therefore, Clause 10 of Ext.P4 only means that last grade servants cannot be transferred out of the District. If so, there is no violation of Ext.P4 guidelines in this case. W.P.(C) No.24127 of 2010 -: 2 :- 3. Petitioner submits that he has undergone treatment due to his chronic back pain and other ailments. It is stated that on account of this, he would not be in a position to undertake long travel. In my view, if the petitioner has such a grievance, it is for the petitioner to approach the Departmental Authorities and it is for them to consider the grievance of the petitioner. According to the petitioner, Ext.P2 representation has already been made before the 1st respondent and that orders have not been passed so far. Taking into account the pendency of Ext.P2, I direct the 1st respondent to consider the same and pass orders thereon. This, the 1st respondent, shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Jvt
