J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as a Cashier, in the Electrical Section, Koduvally under the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB for short). Since the petitioner is a native of Alappuzha, he had sought for a transfer to his native place. While so, as per Ext.P1 order of general transfer, the petitioner has been transferred and posted to the Electrical Circle, Alappuzha. Though Ext.P1 order is dated 11.7.2011, the petitioner complains that the same has not been given effect to, till date. Therefore, he seeks the issue of appropriate orders for implementing the said order of transfer. 2. The learned Standing Counsel for KSEB, on instructions, submits that the petitioner is working as a Cashier. In view of Note 3 to Ext.P1 which mandates that WP(C).No.25640/2011-D. 2 the transferees are to be relieved without affecting cash collection, the petitioner could not be relieved without finding a substitute to take his post. It is submitted that there is a dearth of Cashiers in the KSEB and the difficulty in finding a substitute for the petitioner is the reason for the delay in implementing Ext.P1 order of transfer. However, he assures that the order would be implemented within an outer limit of four months. 3. In view of the above submission this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to implement Ext.P1 order of transfer, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
