The said order is passed by the Government on 17.7.2007 taking note of the resolution No.10 dated 6.6.07 of District Panchayat, Idukki and another letter dated 20.6.07 of the President, Idukki District Panchayat. In such circumstances, Government effected the transfer and posting of Sri.P.K.Jacob as Executive Engineer, District Panchayat, Wayanad. 2. Petitioner preferred Ext.P9 representation for conciliation of the order of transfer and also made a request to allow him to continue in Idukki Panchayat. Alternatively he also prayed for repatriation to his parent department. This Court sitting in this jurisdiction is not justified in interfering with Ext.P6 transfer order. However, we are inclined to dispose of this appeal with a direction to consider and dispose of Ext.P9 representation within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
