R1 TO R3 BY ASSISTANT SOLICITOR GENERAL OF INDIA SRI.P.PARAMESWARAN NAIR THIS WRIT APPEAL HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/11/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: jma C.N.Ramachandran Nair & K.Vinod Chandran, JJ. -------------------------------- W.A.No.1746 of 2011 -------------------------------- Dated this, the 16th day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT C.N.Ramachandran Nair,J.: The Writ Appeal is filed against the judgment of the learned Single Judge, declining to interfere with the transfer orders. At the admission stage, the learned Assistant Solicitor General appearing for the respondents submitted that the appellant is relieved from service from Cochin Shipyard and has already joined the service at the transferred place. Consequently, the Writ Appeal itself has become infructuous and we close the same as such, more particularly this Court will not ordinarily interfere with the transfer orders of a service personnel. 2. However, what we feel is that the respondents themselves have granted extension of service to the appellant by six months in Kerala on account of his personal problem associated with the sickness of several family members. In the normal course, a person is given three year tenure in a place to which he is transferred. Kochi is certainly a home State for the appellant. In the normal course, he W.A.No.1746 of 2011 - 2 - should have been given three years and by the present transfer the total period he served in Kochi, even after extension of six months, is 2½ years only, even though he was given 12 years tenure in the southern zone. 3. Keeping all these in mind, the respondents should sympathetically consider any application for leave under the medical category applied for by the appellant and if there is compelling reasons, he should be given leave under the eligible category. The Writ Appeal is closed with the above observation. Sd/- C.N.Ramachandran Nair Judge Sd/- K.Vinod Chandran Judge. vku/- - true copy -
