(C) No. 11658 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 8th day of April, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P8 order of transfer dated 28.3.2010. The petitioner claims that he is entitled to get the benefits of Ext.P4 which provides certain privileges for inter-caste married employees in the matter of transfer and postings. Ignoring the privileges provided thereunder he was transferred and posted as per Ext.P8 order, it is submitted. The learned Government Pleader, upon instructions, submitted that the station to which the petitioner is transferred as per Ext.P8 is only about 12kms from the Primary Health Centre, Ollukara wherein he is presently working. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner strongly refutes the same. If the petitioner is having any grievance with respect to the violation of the norms in the matter of transfer and postings, his remedy is to approach the Government. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Government by filing a representation raising his claims and contentions. In case, WPC.11658 of 2010 : 2 : such a representation is received from the petitioner within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment, the same shall be considered by the second respondent after giving notice to the 3rd respondent. In case the petitioner and the 3rd respondent were not relieved from their respective stations pursuant to Ext.P2 status quo with respect to them shall be maintained till a decision is taken.
