Sreekumar. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N.Ravindran, J. =============== W.P(C).No.14580 of 2007 ================= Dated this the 13th day of May, 2008. JUDGMENT Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 2. The petitioner has in this writ petition challenged his transfer from Cheruvally Major Devi Temple to Chenappady Minor Sree Dharma Sastha Temple. He has also prayed for a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 representation submitted by him seeking cancellation of his transfer from Cheruvally Major Devi Temple. The transfer of the petitioner has already taken effect. With effect from 22.3.2008 the petitioner is the Melsanthi of Chenappady Minor Sree Dharma Sastha Temple. Since the petitioner has already represented against his transfer in Ext.P3 representation dated 24.3.2008 before the second respondent and his transfer has already taken effect, I find no reason to entertain this writ petition. However, I am of the opinion that the second respondent should bestow W{(C) 14580/08 -: 2 :- attention to the grievance voiced by the petitioner in Ext.P3 and pass orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the result, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
