BY STANDING COUNSEL - SRI.K.S.ANIL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C).No.878 of 2008 ------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT By Ext.P4 order, the petitioner has been promoted to the post of Senior Superintendent and then posted to the Electrical Circle, Perumbavoor. The petitioner is currently staying at Thripunithura. He is aggrieved by Ext.P4, insofar as he has been transferred to Perumbavoor, on the premise that he had met with an accident and he has been advised not to travel. Apparently, the medical treatment is being continued. 2. Having heard the counsel for the petitioner and perused Exts.P2 and P3, I am of the view, that the petitioner's claim for reposting at Thripunithura as contained in Ext.P2 may be considered as objection to the order of transfer and a decision be taken by the Chief Engineer within four weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent. The 2nd respondent shall also consider the claim of W.P.(C).NO.878/08 :: 2 :: the petitioner that there are 4 vacancies in Thripunithura itself, in the light of the fact that he is advised not to travel and in the light of the further fact that he is due to retire in 7 months. Writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
