Even according to the petitioner he has accepted the transfer and joined the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. Now he has filed this writ petition for the reason that before 9th January, 2010 he will have to vacate the quarters. Therefore, the petitioner is more aggrieved by the requirement of vacating the quarters than the transfer. He submits that being an intercaste married employee he is entitled to preference for posting in terms of Exts.P5 and P6. Exts.P5 and P6 are only guidelines and departure therefrom does not give a cause of action entitling a person to redress his grievances in a court of law. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed.
