THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 16563 OF 2008 V -------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th June, 2008 JUDGMENT Briefly put, the case of the petitioner is as follows: Petitioner challenges Ext.P5 in so far as it appoints the fifth respondent to the post of Assistant Engineer. According to petitioner, she was working at Kunnamkulam. By Ext.P1 dated 22.5.2008, petitioner was transferred to Thrissur and she came to be relieved vide Ext.P2 and she joined at Thrissur on the same day itself. Thereafter, Ext.P3 was issued cancelling Ext.P2 and by Ext.P4, petitioner was called upon to join at Thrissur. Accordingly, petitioner joined at Thrissur. The fifth respondent is a person who is also posted at Thrissur and accordingly petitioner submits that she is due to retire after seventeen months' time. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent, Kerala Water Authority, who appeared before me, would submit that this is on account of a mistake and another order has been issued as per which the petitioner will be allowed to continue at WPC. 16563/2008 V 2 Thrissur itself. I record the submission of the learned counsel for the Water Authority and the Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. In the facts of this case, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the fifth respondent. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
