JUSTICE G.YETHIRAJULU WRIT PETITION NO.14913 OF 2004 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner is the Trustee of the third respondent Temple. The respondents 6 and 7, who are working as Junior Assistants, were transferred through the proceedings dated 07-08-2004 issued by the second respondent. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the respondents 6 and 7 were transferred on some allegations and irregularities in their functioning, they were not so far relieved in pursuance of the transfer order, and they are continuing in the service of the third respondent temple causing prejudice to the interest of the temple. The petitioner therefore, approached this Court seeking a direction to the third respondent to relieve the respondents 6 and 7 in pursuance of the transfer orders dated 07-08-2004. 3. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner, the third respondent is directed to implement the order of transfer dated 07-08-2004 and relieve the respondents 6 and 7 forthwith from their respective posts, so long as the transfer order is in force. 4. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. -------------------------------- Dr. G.YETHIRAJULU, J 23rd August, 2004. SKM NOTE: Furnish C.C. by 25-08-2004. B/o. Skm.
