According to him, in January, 2009, he was transferred to the office of the 4th respondent at Aroor. However, by Ext.P1 issued on 8/10/2009, he has been posted on special duty to the office of the 3rd respondent at Allappuzha. It is challenging Ext.P1, the writ petition is filed. 2. Apart from the fact that there is only one peon in the office of the 4th respondent and there are six peons in the office of the 3rd respondent, no violation of any rule or other guideline is pointed out. This Court can interfere with an order of transfer only if the transfer is against the service conditions, malafide or issued by an officer lacking authority to issue such an order. This case does not make any of these grounds warranting interference with Ext.P1. Writ petition fails and is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
