RADHAKRISHNAN & S.SIRI JAGAN, JJ. ------------------------------------------------------------------ W.A.No.2502 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 23rd day of December, 2008. J U D G M E N T THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J Having heard the learned counsel for the appellant, we find no jurisdictional error or injustice in the impugned judgment. The petitioner working as Cashier at Electrical Section, Kozhikode is transferred to Thodupuzha. His grievance is that the said transfer order has not been given effect to though seven months have passed after the transfer order. The shortage of appropriate hands to man the post of Cashiers in the Kerala State Electricity Board has been rightly noticed by the learned Judge. We do not find any grounds to interfere with the direction which is essentially in favour of the petitioner since the learned Judge has directed that the petitioner would be relieved from the present status within four months. The writ appeal lacks merits. Accordingly the same is dismissed. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ab 24/12
