PLEADER MR.P.NANDAKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/05/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.13561 of 2009 -------------------------------------- Dated 21st May, 2009 JUDGMENT Heard Sri.M.V.Thamban, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner who is presently working as Assistant Engineer in Chengannur Municipality has filed this writ petition apprehending that his request for transfer to Thiruvananthapuram Corporation may not be considered and that the third respondent will be preferred in the matter of transfer and posting to Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. The learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 and 2 submits that the transfer order has not yet been issued and Ext.P9 is only a list prepared with reference to the date on which the incumbents joined duty in the present stations. In my opinion, the petitioner will have to wait till orders are passed on his request for transfer to Thiruvananthapuram Corporation and cannot seek the intervention of this Court to act as the original authority. The writ petition is in my opinion premature. It is accordingly dismissed without prejudice to the contentions of the petitioner and his right to move this Court afresh if occasion arises in future.
