THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/05/2007,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,J. ------------------------------------------ WP(C)NO.15705 OF 2007-T ------------------------------------------ Judgment The petitioner is presently working as the Special Grade Secretary of Mavoor grama panchayat. She was posted there on 01.11.2006. She is a native of Pappinisseri in Kannur district. She represented, praying to give her a posting in her home district. But, when Ext.P7 transfer order was issued, her claim was overlooked. She submits, her juniors in service have been favoured with postings in Kannur district. Hence this Writ Petition, praying for a direction to transfer the petitioner to one of the vacancies that may arise in Kannur district soon. The petitioner was transferred to Mavoor grama panchayat only on 01.11.2006. She has not chosen to challenge the said transfer. The grievances raised by the petitioner against Ext.P7 are usual general grievances raised by every Government servant. This Court can interfere with the said order, if only it is shown that it is vitiated by mala fides. So, the challenge against Ext.P7 is repelled and the Writ Petition is dismissed. But, if the petitioner has got a right of representation against Ext.P7, the dismissal of this Writ Petition will not affect the said right. 24.05.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
