BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.M.R.SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V. GIRI, J. ------------------------------- WP(C).NO.16513 of 2008 --------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of June, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges Ext.P9 order of transfer issued by the Director of Agriculture by which he has been transferred from Muvattupuzha to Kattappana. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that apparently the petitioner has been singled out for a transfer outside Ernakulam District whereas serial Nos.14 and 15 in Ext.P9 have been transferred but within Ernakulam District. In my view these are matters which the petitioner may urge before the Government. 2. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to file a representation/appeal against Ext.P9 before the Government. If it is done within two weeks from today, it shall be considered with specific reference to the contention made by the petitioner that similarly situated persons are retained within the District. Orders shall be passed , within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the representation. V. GIRI, JUDGE. Pmn/ WPC. 16513/2008 2
