THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/05/2007,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 15923 OF 2007-U ----------------------------------------- JUDGMENT The petitioner, who is presently working as Child Development Project Officer, Thaikkattussery, has been transferred by Ext.P2 order, to Kanjikuzhi, on administrative convenience. According to the petitioner, he was posted at Thaikkattussery one year back and further he is undertaking certain important activities in the Block and therefore, his transfer will affect those schemes. So, the Block Panchayat has requested, as evident from Ext.P3 resolution, that he may not be transferred. This writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P2. According to the petitioner, there is no administrative convenience involved in his transfer. 2. I find that the present transfer is to a nearby place in the very same Taluk. So, no serious prejudice is caused to the petitioner. Further, the order itself spells out the reason for transfer as administrative convenience. Since the transfer is to a nearby place, I find no reason to interfere with Ext.P2 order. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. If Wpc 15923/2007 2 the petitioner has got a right of representation against Ext.P2, the dismissal of this writ petition will not affect the said right. 28th May, 2007. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. Nm/
