NO. 1881 OF 2007 ====================== Dated this the 31st day of July, 2007 J U D G M E N T Radhakrishnan, J. Ext.P1 transfer order is under challenge. Petitioner was transferred to Thanur in Malappuram District from Kottarakkara and 5th respondent was posted in his place. The complaint of the petitioner is that 5th respondent is junior to the petitioner and there is no justification in transferring out the petitioner from the present place so as to accommodate a junior. Facts would indicate that petitioner was working in and around Kottarakkara for the last ten years. Further the petitioner has joined duty at Thanur in Malappuram District and the 5th respondent has also joined duty at Taluk Head Quarters Hospital, Kottarakkara. Learned Single Judge disposed of the writ petition directing the petitioner to file suitable representation before the transferring authority. We find no illegality in the view expressed by the learned Single judge. Writ appeal is therefore dismissed. K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
