EXT.P2: COPY OF THE RELEVANT EXTRACT OF THE ORDER DATED 18.06.2011. EXT.P3: COPY OF THE APPEAL FILED BEFORE THE 1ST RESPONDENT. // TRUE COPY // TKS P.S. TO JUDGE C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.23092 of 2011 ---------------------------------------- Dated 25th August, 2011 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is against Ext.P2 order of transfer. In view of the order I propose to pass in this writ petition I do not think it necessary to deal with the contentions on merits. The petitioner who was working as Upper Division Clerk in the Municipal Common Service at Kannur requested for a transfer. On his request ,it was proposed to transfer him to Kayamkulam, as is obvious from Ext.P1. However, when the said list was finalised he was transferred and posted to Kochi Corporation. Being aggrieved by the said order of transfer and posting he has already moved the first respondent through Ext.P3 representation. Ext.P3 is still pending before the first respondent. In the said circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to say that person/persons likely to be affected shall also be put on notice before taking a decision on Ext.P3. Sd/- C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
