GOVT.PLEADER SRI.DILIP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.16114 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of May, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as H.S.S.T (Physics) in Government Higher Secondary School, Kunhimangalam in Kannur District. Ext.P1 application has been submitted by him for transfer to the Government Girls High School, Payyannur. Despite the existence of an open vacancy in the said school, without considering the request of the petitioner, that vacancy was filled up by appointing a fresh hand viz., the third respondent. Aggrieved by the said action on the part of the Government, the petitioner preferred Ext.P7 representation before the second respondent. Various contentions have been raised to assail the said action. Since the petitioner has already approached the second respondent by filing Ext.P7 representation, I am inclined to dispose of this Writ Petition with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of W.P.(C) NO.16114/2010 2 receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to the third respondent, in accordance with law. Ordered accordingly. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc W.P.(C) NO.16114/2010 3 C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. W.P.(C). NO.16114 /2010 JUDGMENT 26th May, 2010
