UDAYABHANU, JJ. ============================== W.A.NO. 2357 OF 2006 ============================ DATED THIS THE 19TH DAY OF JANUARY 2007 JUDGMENT Abdul Gafoor,J. Transfer of an incumbent from one place to another is not a matter for judicial review unless there is extreme arbitrariness and discrimination in denying a posting as opted by him. The learned single Judge has considered the matter at length. Anyhow taking into account Annexures A1 & A2 certificates produced by the appellant/writ petitioner that his dearth in height shall not be a hindrance for him to conduct the poojas in Aranmulla Parthasarathy Temple, the first respondent is directed when next general transfer is effected to consider his case with reference to such documents and also taking into consideration his impending retirement within another three years. The writ appeal is closed. Sd/- K.A.ABDUL GAFOOR JUDGE Sd/- K.R.UDAYABHANU, JUDGE ks. TRUE COPY ks.
