RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.A.TO JUDGE Kss C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.20933 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is presently working as Assistant District Planning Officer under the District Planning Office, Thrissur. This Writ Petition has been filed challenging Ext.P7 order to the extent it orders transfer of the third respondent ignoring the claim of the petitioner for transfer to the place to which the third respondent has been transferred. The grievance of the petitioner is that prior to the passing of Ext.P7 order, Ext.P8 transfer norms as also the directions given by this Court in Ext.P5 judgment were not at all taken into consideration. Evidently, the petitioner and the third respondent were applicants for transfer to the same place. The contention of the petitioner is that he is the rightful claimant on account of compassionate grounds as well. I am of the view that those are matters which are to be looked into by appropriate authorities. Since Ext.P7 order was passed by the Government, it will be open to the petitioner to approach the Government by raising all such contentions and grievances against Ext.P7. In case the petitioner prefers such a representation before W.P.(C) NO.20933 OF 2011 2 the first respondent raising all his claims and grievances against Ext.P7 within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, the same shall be considered by the first respondent with notice to the third respondent and appropriate orders shall be passed thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of such a representation, if any. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.20933 OF 2011 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. JUDGMENT September, 2010
