RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 2044 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of January, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Senior Assistant, working in the Electrical Division, Punalur. As per Ext.P1 order dated 27.5.2009, he was ordered to be transferred to Electrical Circle, Manjeri. Challenging that order, he had earlier approached this Court by filing W.P.(C).No.31946 of 2009. As per Ext.P5 judgment , the said Writ Petition was disposed of with a direction to consider the representations submitted by the petitioner and to pass orders thereon. It also contained a direction to maintain status quo as regards the continuance of the petitioner at Electrical Division, Punalur. In compliance with Ext.P5 judgment, the matter was considered and Ext.P6 order was issued. As per Ext.P6 order, the request of the petitioner to review Ext.P1 transfer order and to retain him at Electrical Division, Punalur itself was declined. Hence this Writ Petition. When the matter was taken up for admission, counsel for the petitioner submitted that pursuant to Ext.P6 order, the petitioner was relieved from Electrical Division, Punalur, in terms of Ext.P1 transfer order. W.P.(C) NO.2044 of 2010 2 However, it is submitted that in view of the peculiar circumstances to which the petitioner has been put in, his case deserves consideration in a sympathetic manner and for that purpose he has already approached the first respondent through Ext.P7 representation. In Ext.P7, the petitioner has narrated his plight and request for its consideration, in sympathetic manner. Learned standing counsel appearing for respondents 1 to 3 submits that Ext.P7 representation can be considered. In the circumstances, considering the fact that the petitioner has now been relieved from Electrical Division, Punalur, the first respondent is directed to consider Ext.P7 representation expeditiously, and to pass orders thereon within a period of three weeks from today. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.2044 of 2010 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. CRL. M.C. NO. O R D E R 3rd June, 2009 W.P.(C) NO.2044 of 2010 4
