                 W.P.(C) NO.30634 OF 2009 (Y)
             --------------------------------------------------
          Dated this the 29th day of October, 2009

                          J U D G M E N T

By Ext.P1 order, petitioner was transferred from Karukone

to Punalur. According to the petitioner, he made Ext.P2 and P3

representations objecting to Ext.P1 and thereafter Ext.P4 report

was submitted by the 3rd respondent to the 4th respondent.

Petitioner states that the transfer order has been issued on the

wrong assumption that he resides at Agasthyacode and that as a

matter of fact he lives in a place at Alenchery.

2. First of all a reading of Ext.P4 itself shows that the

transfer has been ordered in the exigencies of service. That apart,

Ext.P4 shows that, because of the transfer, the petitioner is only

to travel 5 Km more. Even if the petitioner is not staying at

Agasthyacode as stated in Ext.P3, his electoral card Ext.P5 shows

that he is a resident of Alenchery, which is also in suburb of

Punalur itself. In these circumstances, I do not find any

arbitrariness warranting interference.

Writ petition fails and is dismissed.
