Ramachandran Nair, J.
The writ appeal is filed challenging the judgment of the learned
Single Judge declining to interfere with the transfer of the appellant
from Kozhikode Medical College to Thrissur Medical College.
Admittedly both the appellant and the third respondent who were
mutually transferred had completed three years tenure in the place
they served. Transfer norms provided for shifting after completion of
three years tenure in a station. According to the appellant, even
though transfer could be made, it is a matter of discretion. In other
words, the appellant’s claim is that he should be allowed to continue
beyond three years in Kozhikode. However, the learned
Government Pleader pointed out that the third respondent after
completion of three years tenure requested for a transfer to
Kozhikode, which is his home station and he is entitled to a transfer.
Appellant’s case is that the third respondent delayed declaring
Kozhikode as his home station and so much so, there should be
three years after declaring home station for a transfer.

We do not find any merit in the writ appeal because admittedly
there is no violation of norms of transfer as both the appellant and
the third respondent have completed more than three years in the
station they worked.
The writ appeal fails and is dismissed.
