PLEADER SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.25962 OF 2007 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of August, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner's complaint is regarding different transfers and postings made by the Manager of a Corporate educational agency, in the aided sector. The plea of the petitioner is that he has been ordered to be transferred to the northern end of Kerala, though he has only less than 2 ½ years of service and that the directions and declarations of law, as made by this Court in Valsa v. Director of Public Instructions [2002 (2) KLT 610 (DB)], have been mis-quoted by the Corporate Manager in making the impugned transfers. 2. But this is an issue that could gain attention only on the basis of statutory objections before the statutory authorities and not of this Court in jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. WPC.25962/07 Page numbers In the result, this writ petition is disposed of directing that if the petitioner applies to the Director of Public Instructions complaining about the impugned orders, that would gain the attention of the DPI at the earliest, at any rate, within a week of receipt of a copy of this judgment, along with the application. Any application for interlocutory orders, pending such consideration, will also be considered by that authority. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge kkb.
