THE COMMISSIONER DEPARTMENT OF LAND REVENUE, PUBLIC OFFICE BUILDING, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. 3. THE DISTRICT COLLECTOR, PATHANAMTHITTA. GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 19565 OF 2010 (U) ===================== Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is an Upper Division Clerk in the Revenue Department. By Ext.P1 order, he was placed under suspension. In Ext.P2 appeal, Ext.P4 order has been passed by the 1st respondent reinstating the petitioner, but however with a condition that he shall not be posted in Pathanamthitta District. It is aggrieved by Ext.P4, in as much as he is ordered not to be posted in Pathanamthitta District, the writ petition is filed. 2. Admittedly, disciplinary action is pending. In such a case, I do not find any illegality in the Government imposing a condition while reinstating a delinquent that he shall not be posted in the District where he was placed under suspension. Further, petitioner has no right to insist that he should be posted in a particular district. For these reasons, I see no merit in the writ petition. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
