JUDGMENT
The petitioners are working as Higher Secondary School
Teachers. They sought for transfer as per Exts.P1 and P3 respectively.
In the said applications they have opted certain schools. Subsequently,
Ext.P4 order of transfer was issued. The grievance of the first petitioner
is that ignoring his entitlement to get a transfer by virtue of his seniority,
he has been denied a transfer to the place of his choice. According to
the first petitioner he should have been given transfer by virtue of his
seniority to Government Higher Secondary School, Kadammanitta. The
grievance of the second petitioner is that despite his entitlement to get a
transfer by virtue of his seniority, his case was not even considered and
he was not included in Ext.P4 and at the same time, overlooking his
seniority, his junior has been given transfer to Government Higher
Secondary School, Thazhathuvadakara. After instituting this writ
petition, the petitioners have submitted Exts.P9 and P10 representations
before the first respondent. In fact, the relevant transfer norms permit
the persons aggrieved to approach the Government raising grievances
against an order of transfer. In the circumstances, this writ petition is
WP(C).No.25251/2010 2
disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Exts.P9
and P10 representations submitted respectively by the petitioners raising
their grievances against Ext.P4 and to pass orders thereon expeditiously,
at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a
copy of this judgment.
