BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.17319 of 2007-J ------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of June, 2007. J U D G M E N T The petitioner who is a U.D. Clerk is challenging Ext.P5 order by which she has been transferred from PWD Roads Division, Kottayam to PWD Buildings Division, Kottayam. She urges several grounds, to attack the said transfer. Since the transfer is from one office to another office in the same station, I am not inclined to go into the technical contentions raised by the petitioner as no serious prejudice is caused to her by the transfer. The petitioner claims, she has preferred Ext.P6 representation, on 4-6-2007. It may not have even reached the Chief Engineer to whom it is addressed. So, it is not proper for this Court to issue a writ of mandamus to consider the same. But, I am sure, if the representation is received, the second respondent will consider and pass orders on it. Subject to the above observation, the Writ Petition is dismissed. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. MS
