BY MR.K.PRABHAKARA, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ============================== WP(C) No. 18169 of 2009 ============================== Dated this the 30th day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner, after serving in some foreign country, rejoined duty as Mechanic in KSRTC. After discharging the duties for more than one year, he has been transferred from Kozhikode to Edappal. He now pleads that his 80 year old mother needs his company and that his seniors with longer tenure in Kozhikode are not transferred out. It is also pointed out that the substitute has to join from Kozhikode itself. The materials show that he has not been relieved till today. I am not impressed to interfere with the impugned order of transfer. Therefore learned counsel for the petitioner requested that a direction that Ext.P1 be directed to be considered by the competent authority in the KSRTC. It so ordered. Let Ext.P1 be decided within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. However, the further request to permit the petitioner to continue in the same station until a decision is Wpc 18169/2009 2 taken on Ext.P1 is declined. Writ petition ordered accordingly, leaving open all matters for consideration of the administration. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/30/6
