J U D G M E N T The petitioner, a Junior Superintendent in the office of the Deputy Director of Panchayats, Kasaragod, has filed this writ petition challenging his posting as per Ext.P2 to Kavilumpara Grama Panchayat, Kozhikode. According to the petitioner, his transfer is violative of clause 15 of Ext.P1 guidelines. His wife is working as a Peon in the office of the Deputy Director of Panchayats, Kasaragod. Being aggrieved by Ext.P2, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P5 representation to the second respondent. The petitioner seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration and disposal of Ext.P5. 2. I have heard the learned Govt.Pleader also. 3. It is pointed out by the learned Govt.Pleader that Ext.P1 norms are applicable only to the transfers. Since WP(C).No.33585/2011. 2 Ext.P2 is an order of promotion, the said norms do not apply to the present posting of the petitioner. However, since Ext.P5 has been submitted to the second respondent, he assures that the same would be considered and disposed of without delay. 4. This writ petition is, in the above circumstances, disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioner set out in his representation, evidenced herein by Ext.P5, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner also.
