BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/09/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V. Giri, J. ======================== W.P(C).No.22476 of 2007 ======================== Dated this the 5th day of September, 2007. JUDGMENT Petitioner is aggrieved by Exts.P2, P13 and P16. Ext.P2 is memo of charges issued to the petitioner by the third respondent - Divisional Forest Officer. It only requires the petitioner to submit an explanation to the same. Ext.P13 requires the petitioner to appear before the Chief Conservator of Forests for appropriate instructions. Ext.P16 is the order of general transfer. 2. I do not find any illegality in Ext.P2, which is only to show cause. Ext.P13 also directs the petitioner to appear before the Chief Conservator of Forests. Ext.P16 seems to be unrelated as such, to any other dispute, which the petitioner has raised. In the circumstances, the petitioner shall appear before the Chief Conservator of Forests - the second respondent, who will take further action. Any objection the petitioner may have with regard to Ext.P16, shall be dealt with in accordance with law. To enable the appropriate authority to take a decision, it is open to the WP(C) 22476/07 -: 2 :- petitioner to file appropriate representation. With the above direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. Giri, Judge. ess 5/9
