THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/12/2007,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------------------- WP(C) 34659 OF 2007 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of December 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner, while working as a Lineman in the Public Works Department, Electrical Wing Section No.2, Kozhikode, was transferred to the Public Works Department, Electrical Section, Kasargode vide Ext.P3. According to the petitioner, the said transfer visits him considerable disabilities. He therefore challenged Ext.P3. The petitioner has also preferred Ext.P4 before the Chief Engineer seeking variation of Ext.P3. 2. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner Mr.Rajendran as also the learned government pleader and after having perused the averments in the writ petition, I am of the view that the Chief Engineer shall look into Ext.P4, considering the same as an objection of the petitioner as against Ext.P3. If the Chief Engineer finds that the petitioner is actually visited with the physical disabilities as contended by him then the petitioner’s case should definitely be considered by him sympathetically and a decision be taken in this regard without delay. The writ petition is therefore disposed of directing the second respondent to look into Ext.P4, and take a W.P.(C)34659/2007 2 decision within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
