JUDGMENT The petitioner who is working as Cashier in the Electrical Division of the Kerala State Electricity Board has been transferred as per Ext.P1 order passed by the first respondent on 28.2.2006 from Electrical Division, Mavelikkara to Electrical Circle, Kollam. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the lapse of more than eight months, Ext.P1 has not been given effect to in the case of the petitioner. 2. This Court has taken the view in similar matters that the beneficiaries of transfer orders passed by the competent authorities shall not be denied that benefit for long, merely on the ground of non-availability of substitutes to replace them. Hence there shall be an order directing the respondents to relieve the petitioner from Electrical Division, Mavelikkara forthwith, at any rate, within two weeks on the petitioner producing a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the second respondent. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. K.K.DENESAN Judge jj
