IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR.

STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT GENERAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT,GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. GOVT. PLEADER, SRI. A.J. VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 33351 OF 2008 (U) ==================== Dated this the 12th day of November, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was appointed as an HSST at the GMHSS , Calicut University Campus. Subsequently, he availed of leave without allowance and cancelling the unavailed portion of the same, he rejoined duty at Government Boys' Vocational Higher Secondary School, Vengara. Thereupon he applied for transfer to Chelari and that was granted. On joining at Chelari, petitioner again requested for transfer to Peruvallur for reasons of his own. That was also granted. Now after joining at Peruvallur, petitioner again wants to go back to Chelari and for that purpose he has made Exts.P7 and P8 representations. According to the petitioner, PTA of the School at Chelari has also made Ext.P9 representation. 2. I see absolutely no reason for directing the authorities to consider the request of the petitioner. As already noticed, in the short span of service, even on his own showing, petitioner has already availed of two request transfers and the present request is the third one. Request transfer is an exception and that cannot be a matter of routine and in such a situation, there is absolutely no justification for this court to come to the WPC 33351/08 :2 : rescue of a person like the petitioner. However, if any representation made by the petitioner is pending, it is up to the authorities to consider, and this judgment will not stand in the way of the same. Writ petition is dismissed.
