NO.23508 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of August, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as Assistant Engineer in Public works Department. This Writ Petition has been filed challenging Ext.P1 order. As per Ext.P1, she was transfered and posted to National Highway Section, Chavakkad. The petitioner has raised various contentions including violation of transfer norms. I am of the view that in case the petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P1 order of transfer, she has to raise such contentions before the first respondent. Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to prefer a representation raising her claims and grievances against Ext.P1 before the first respondent within a period of ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In case the petitioner prefers such a representation within the stipulated period, the same shall be looked into by the first respondent expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of such a representation. Needless to say that before passing orders thereon, the third respondent shall also be put on notice. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) spc
