RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.9550/2007-J ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 9th day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T The challenge is against Ext.P4 order passed by the Government whereby the order of transfer passed by the Management was upheld by the Government. It was specified that the respective teachers including the petitioner may apply for next general transfer showing 3 or more choices of schools to the Manager which has to be considered by the Management as per the Rules. The main prayer in the writ petition is to quash Ext.P4. It is clear that due to efflux of time, the matter is not alive now. Therefore, as directed by the Government, the petitioner can submit application during the general transfer in the respective years. With the above observation, the writ petition is closed. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
