                   W.P.(C) No. 21831 OF 2009
                         --------------------------
             Dated this the 5th day of August, 2009

                          J U D G M E N T

Heard Sri.B.Mohan Lal the learned counsel appearing for the

petitioners and Sri. P.Nandakumar the learned Senior Government

Pleader appearing for the respondents.

2. The petitioners are Upper Division Clerks working in

various offices in Thiruvananthapuram district. They have filed this

writ petition challenging Ext.P3 transfer order issued by the

Conservator of Forests, Southern Circle, Kollam, transferring

respondents 3 to 5 to various stations in Kollam district. The

petitioners contend that third respondent has been transferred from

Thiruvananthapuram to Kollam, the fourth respondent frome one

station to another in Kollam district and fifth respondent also from

one station to another in Kollam district. The petitioners’ contention

is that while passing Ext.P3 order of transfer, their requests for

transfer to Kollam district were not considered.

3. In my opinion, if the petitioners are aggrieved by Ext.P3

order of transfer, by which their request for transfer was not

WPC No.21831/09
2

considered, they should move the Government which has got the

power to order transfer in the exigencies of service.

I therefore dispose of this writ petition with a direction in the

event of the petitioners filing appropriate individual representations

before the Government, the Government shall consider the same

and pass orders thereon expeditiously and in any event within three

months from the date on which such representations are received by

the Government.
