JUDGMENT The petitioner herein who is working as Deputy Director (General) in the office of the Director of Technical Education, is aggrieved by Ext.P1 order of transfer by which he has been transferred and posted as Principal, Government Polytechnic College, Vechoochira in an existing vacancy. He was directed to hand over charge to the Senior Joint Director (PS) who will be holding additional charge of Deputy Director (General). 2. Many grounds have been raised in the writ petition. The petitioner has pointed out various personal difficulties also. It is submitted that the petitioner has joined the present post only on 23.6.2010. 3. This Court passed an interim order on 27.6.2011 which was extended on 30.6.2011, till 5.7.2011. 4. Learned Govt. Pleader submitted that the post of Principal had to be filled up because of various administrative reasons and the same was the reason for transfer. I am not considering the merits of the matter, since the petitioner has already approached the Government by filing Ext.P2 representation. Therein, he has stated various grounds for reconsideration wpc 17263/2011 2 of the transfer. It is stated that the petitioner is continuing on leave as on today. 5. Therefore, there will be a direction to the Government to consider Ext.P2 representation after notice to the petitioner and appropriate orders will be passed within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
