K.S.ANIL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 17335 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 11th June, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner, who is a Lineman currently working at Kumbala in Kasaragod district, has been transferred to Electrical Circle, Ernakulam. Petitioner's grievance is that notwithstanding the fact that Exhibit-P1 was passed on 21.5.2008, he has not been relieved therefrom. 2. Learned standing counsel for the Electricity Board submits that the delay in relieving the petitioner is because of the delay in obtaining the certification of the competent authority. Similar submission was considered by this Court in Exhibit-P2 judgment, wherein, it is held as follows: “If the K.S.E.B. cannot enforce its orders and plead helplessness, the same cannot be tolerated. Those who transferred can be relieved compelling them to join in the new station. If anybody declines to join, without justifiable grounds, disciplinary action can be taken against them. The 4th respondent should show some courage to implement and enforce the orders which are remaining unimplemented.” W.P ( C) No. 17335 of 2008 2 In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to relieve the petitioner, as early as possible, at any rate, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
