Posting in Kottarakara itself was after taking note of the petitioners repeated requests as Exhibits P2 and P3. This Court at the time of admission of the writ petition passed an order of stay of transfer under Exhibit-P6 provided the petitioner had not been relieved from the office of the Soil Conservation Officer, Kottarakara. 2.

Such representation may be filed, within three weeks from today. Petitioner submits that some vacancies are due to arise in certain other places in Kollam.
