JUDGMENT
The petitioner challenges Ext.P5 order of
transfer, by which he has been transferred from
Thiruvananthapuram to Punnayur. The petitioner is
a Deputy Manager in the State Bank of India, who
was promoted from MM Grade II to MM Grade III.
This has entailed a transfer. This court had
required the bank authorities to consider whether
the petitioner could be accommodated in
Thiruvananthapuram until he is in a position to
travel, taking note of the fact that he had met
with an accident and was under treatment for the
fracture. Apparently, taking note of this order
passed by this court, the Chief General Manager,
has passed an order, which reads as follows:
“However, considering the spirit of the
order passed by the Hon’ble Court, the
petitioner may be temporarily parked in
a supernumerary post in the
Administrative Wing I, Local Head
Office Annex, Trivandrum till 15th July,
2008, if he is fit to report for duty.
This is only a temporary arrangement,
made without prejudice to the
contentions raised by the Bank in the
above Writ Petition. We would not be

:: 2 ::
considering further extension of time
beyond 15th July, 2008. It is also
made clear that the petitioner shall
not be entitled to any deputation,
halting or any other allowance in
this regard.”
2. In the circumstances, I do not think
that there is any further grievance to be
addressed in this writ petition. Accordingly,
the respondents are directed to permit the
petitioner to continue in Thiruvananthapuram
till 15.07.2008. The order of transfer can be
given effect to, subsequent thereto. But, I make
it clear that this direction will not stand in
the way of the petitioner in moving for
variation of the order of transfer, availing
suitable remedies in terms of the Regulations
applicable to the managerial staff of the bank.
Subject to the above, the writ petition
is disposed of.
