SHRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/09/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ----------------------------------- WP(C) No. 28656 of 2007 ------------------------- Dated, this the 27th day of September, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner, who is a Forester, has been transferred from the Social Forestry Division, Thrissur to Thrissur Main Division under Ext.P3. He has pleaded personal inconvenience on account of illness suffered by him, in relation to the said order of transfer. He has brought his grievance to the notice of the 1st respondent vide Ext.P4. Mr. Sreekumar, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is a mistake in Ext.P3 in treating the petitioner’s transfer also as one on request. Apparently, this is not so, according to him. Retention of the petitioner in the Social Forestry Division seem to have been recommended by the Asst. Conservator of Forest as per Ext.P5. 2. I do not propose to consider the correctness of the order of transfer on merits as the petitioner has brought his grievance to the notice of the 1st respondent vide Ext.P4. 3. This writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P4 and to take an appropriate decision thereon within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, keeping in mind the facts which have been noted in Ext.P5 as well. (V.GIRI, JUDGE.) jg
