BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/12/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ========================= W.P.(C)NO.36649 OF 2007 ========================= Dated this the 12th day of December 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P3 order, by which the third respondent, who was earlier working as a Head Clerk in the Kayyur Cheemeni Grama Panchayat and was promoted as a Secretary under Ext.P2 order and posted to the Kumbadaje Grama Panchayat, has now been transferred in the place of the petitioner and posted in the Kayyur-Chemmeni Grama Panchayat. According to the petitioner, Ext.P3 is vitiated by a malafide exercise of power. In my view, if the petitioner has a grievance against Ext.P3, he is entitled to approach the government in that regard. Petitioner points out infraction of Ext.P4 guidelines also. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to approach the government challenging Ext.P3. If a representation is filed within a period of two weeks from today, the second respondent shall pass orders thereof within a period of three weeks thereafter, after hearing the petitioner and the third respondent.
