THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.R.RAMAN & T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,JJ. ------------------------------- W.A.NO.1311 OF 2008 -------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT Raman,J. This appeal is against the order declining to grant interim stay as sought for. Appellants are the petitioners in the writ petition. The challenge was against the order of transfer and posting by the Devaswom Board. The writ petition is still pending. On a prima facie consideration of the materials placed on record, after hearing both sides and considering the fact that this is only a transfer matter, the learned Single thought fit not to grant stay of the transfers made, as it may leave to administrative difficulties. 2. We have heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellants. 3. In the nature of the order passed, we do not think that the appeal itself is maintainable. Learned counsel Sri C.S.Manilal appearing for the appellants however submitted that in a similar matter -2- W.A.No.1311/2008 the learned Single Judge has granted an order re-consideration of the matter by the Board. However, he was not able to place on record the said judgment. It is admitted by the other side that such an order was passed in such a case. Since the writ petition is not before us and if the appellants are satisfied with the said relief, it is certainly open to the appellants to bring up the matter before the learned Single, who therefore will consider such request and pass appropriate orders in this regard. With the above observation this appeal is dismissed. P.R.RAMAN, Judge. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge. kcv. -3- W.A.No.1311/2008
