SREELATHA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 18938 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 24th June, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner, who is a Sub Inspector of Police currently stationed in the State Special Branch CID in Kannur, was aggrieved by Exhibit-P1 order by which he was repatriated back to Calicut. He had approached this Court in W.P (C) No.13467 of 2008 and the same was disposed of under Exhibit-P3 judgment permitting him to move the DGP for variation. Thereafter, DGP has passed an order taking note of the petitioner's contention rejecting the petitioner's request, vide Exhibit-P5. Exhibit- P5 has been challenged in this writ petition. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri.Sunny Mathew and learned Government Pleader and I have gone through Exhibit-P5. 3. It cannot be said that reasons given by the 1st respondent in Exhibit-P5 to justify the order of transfer as such is untenable. But I make it clear that the reasons as W.P ( C) No. 18938 of 2008 2 contained in Exhibit-P5 will be treated as only an expression of opinion for the purpose of transfer and otherwise will not cause any prejudice to the petitioner. Subject to the above, the writ petition is disposed of. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No. 18938 of 2008 3 W.P ( C) No. 18938 of 2008 4
