FOR K.S.E.B SRI.K.S.ANIL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.18764 of 2010 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 16th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an Assistant Engineer (Electrical) at Ezhukone Sub Station of the Kerala State Electricity Board. By Ext.P1 order he has been transferred and posted to Transmission Circle, Kottarakkara. It is this order, which is under challenge. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the station from where the petitioner is transferred is shown in Ext.P1 as Ele. Section, East Kallada and that itself proves that the order was passed without any application of mind. 3. On the other hand, the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Board has produced before me, order dated 09/06/2010 rectifying the aforesaid mistake in Ext.P1. Admittedly, the petitioner is holding a transferable post and therefore, he is liable to be transferred. That apart, learned standing counsel also points out that even at Ezhukone, the petitioner was working within the Distribution Circle of Kottarakkara WP(C) No.18764/2010 -2- and that his present posting is to Transmission Circle, Kottarakkara. These show that there is no illegality to be corrected in a writ proceedings and for that reason, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
