This Writ Petition was filed, challenging Ext.P1 on the ground that she is due to retire from service within two years. Pursuant to the interim order passed by this Court on 21.07.2006, she is being retained in Palakkad. She is due to retire on 30.11.2007, it is submitted. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader also. In view of the fact that the petitioner is going to retire from service in another four months, the Writ Petition is disposed of, making the interim order absolute. But, this will not affect the powers of the appointing authority, if transfer or any other action is necessary against the petitioner on compelling exigencies of service. 31.07.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
