It is an order of transfer, which is stated to be in the middle of the academic year. Petitioner has preferred Ext.P2 before the first respondent against Ext.P1. 2. When this matter came up today, learned Government Pleader on instruction submits that there were reasons for transferring the petitioner. There were complaints raised against him and in fact an enquiry was also conducted and in such circumstances, petitioner came to be transfered, though in the middle of the academic year, he submits. I feel that a decision should be taken on Ext.P2. Counsel for the petitioner has been given a copy of the enquiry report of the DEO, Malappuram. Without expressing any view on the merits of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P2 in accordance with law, after hearing the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
