By Ext.P6 order, both the petitioners who were in Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram were transferred and posted to Medical College, Alappuzha. This Court had passed an interim order of stay on 27/10/2009 which was extended by one month on 09/11/2009. 2. Today, when the matter came up for further hearing, the learned Government Pleader submitted that the order of transfer Ext.P6, has been cancelled by G.O.(Rt). No.3147/2009/H&FWD, dated 29/10/2009. A perusal of the said order shows that in the light of the request made by the Principal, Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram that their transfer will adversely affect the functioning of the departments of General Medicine and General Surgery at Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, the petitioners have been reposted at Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram with immediate effect. Since Ext.P6 order has been cancelled by a later order dated 29/10/2009, the impugned order do not survive and the Writ Petition is accordingly closed, recording the same. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
