BY SMT.M.R.SREELATHA, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.16308 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 2nd June, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner, who is a Last Grade Servant, is seriously aggrieved by the transfer under Exhibit P1 essentially on the ground of personal reasons. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the transfer entails a travelling of 40 kms in so far as the petitioner is concerned. I am not inclined to consider the merits of the order of transfer essentially because the petitioner is entitled to move the appellate authority in terms of the guidelines regulating the transfers and postings of Government servants. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of in the following terms: i) Petitioner may prefer an appeal against Exhibit P1 before the Government within a period of one week from the date of W.P ( C) No.16308 of 2008 2 receipt of a copy of this judgment. If it is so done, Government shall take a decision thereon within period of four weeks thereafter. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No.16308 of 2008 2
