No.2202 of 2009 -------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of October,2009 JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph.J Appellant is the writ petitioner. He approached this court challenging Ext.P5 proceedings, whereby he has been transferred from the present office to another office against the norms. The learned single judge declined to interfere in the matter mainly on the ground that the transfer does not create any grievance to the petitioner since both the offices are at the same place. According to the petitioner since there is failure to adhere to the norms he made representation as per Ext.P6. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with direction to the second respondent to consider Ext.P6 and pass appropriate order within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the copy of judgment,untrammelled by the observations and findings in the judgment under appeal.
