BY ADV. SRI.VARGHESE P.CHACKO RESPONDENT: ---------------- DISTRICT MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH, ERNAKULAM. BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 23931 OF 2007 ==================== Dated this the 7th day of August, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Health Inspector, presently posted at Primary Health Centre, Nedumbasserry. His grievance is that by Ext.P2, he has been transferred from Nedumbassery to Kalamassery, which according to him is causing untold miseries. I am not able to appreciate the contentions of the petitioner. It is settled that an order of transfer can be interfered with on grounds of illegality and malafides. None of these grounds are even pleaded by the petitioner and the only ground that is urged is one of compassion, which is not available in a situation like this. Therefore, on merits, I do not find anything in this writ petition. However, the petitioner draws my attention to Ext.P3 representation, that has been filed before the first respondent. If such a representation has been received, it is for the first WPC 23931/07 : 2 : respondent to take note of the same, about which I do not propose to express any opinion. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
