ANIL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).37124/2007 -------------------- Dated this the 14th day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P4 order of transfer by which he has been transferred from the Electrical Section, Vellanad, to the Electrical Section, Palod, both coming under the Electrical Section, Nedumangad. In my view no grounds have been made out by the petitioner to interfere with the order of transfer especially taking note of the fact that the transfer is within the same Electrical Division. Petitioner pleads personal factors, including a disability suffered by his daughter, as a reason for seeking a posting near his residence. 2. After hearing the learned counsel on both sides, I permit the Petitioner to make a representation in this behalf before the first respondent within three weeks from today. If it is so done, first respondent shall bestow sympathetic consideration on the same and take appropriate decision within three weeks thereafter. If W.P.(C).37124/2007 2 any other person will be affected by the decision to be taken by the first respondent, he shall also be heard in that regard. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
