No.31455 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 5th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T Ext.P1 order dated 02/11/2009 is under challenge. 2. The petitioner is working as a Jail Warder. According to the petitioner, it was only by order dated 27/03/2009, he was posted from Viyyoor to Irinjalakkuda. It is stated that only because of the enemical attitude of the 4th respondent that he has now been transferred back to Viyyoor. 3. A reading of Ext.P1 order itself shows that the petitioner was ordered to be transferred by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, by his order dated 31/10/2009, and Ext.P1, which along is under challenge, is only an order relieving the petitioner from Irinjalakkuda. That apart, it is also seen that on disciplinary grounds that the petitioner was ordered to be transferred. For the aforesaid two reasons, I am not inclined to interfere with Ext.P1. The writ petition fails, and is accordingly dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
