RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.26472 OF 2009 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of September, 2009. J U D G M E N T Aggrieved by Exhibit P1 order of transfer, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. The petitioner had been working as P.D.Teacher in the Government High School, Aroor, and going by Exhibit P1, he is transferred to Government High School, Thevarvattom. 2. It is the contention of the petitioner that the transfer is effected by retaining his juniors in the same school. The petitioner has also pointed out various personal difficulties in the matter. It is the specific case of the petitioner that the junior- most teacher who is impleaded as additional 3rd respondent is retained due to external pressure. Learned Government Pleader submits that there are cogent reasons for transferring the petitioner. Since the order is issued by the Deputy Director of Education, if the petitioner files a representation/appeal against W.P.(C) No.26472/2009 2 the said order before the superior authority, the same will be considered and appropriate orders will be passed. The petitioner will file the same within a period of ten days from today and the competent authority will dispose of the same within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the representation/appeal. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
