K.Ummer vs The Director Of Municipalities on 13 December, 2007<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nWP(C) No. 36802 of 2007(F)\n\n\n1. K.UMMER,(UNDER ORDER OF TRANSFER)\n                      ...

       The petitioner who is working as Overseer Grade-I\/Building<\/p>\n
Inspector   in   the   Manjeri   Municipality   –   the   2nd  respondent     is<\/p>\n
aggrieved by Exhibit-P2 order of  transfer passed by the Director<\/p>\n
of  Municipalities.  According to the petitioner, the reason stated<\/p>\n
in  Exhibit-P2 is baseless.  Apparently, there was no complaint by<\/p>\n
the   Chairman   of   the     Standing   Committee   for   Public   Works<\/p>\n
against   the   petitioner,   though   that   is   the   reason   referred   to   in<\/p>\n
Exhibit-P2, contends the learned counsel for the petitioner.   He<\/p>\n
refers to Exhibit-P3 which is dated  11.12.2007, later in point of<\/p>\n
time   to  the  reference  made in  Exhibit-P2.     Learned   counsel  for<\/p>\n
the   petitioner     contends   that   the   basis   for   the   petitioner’s<\/p>\n
transfer seems to be different from what is projected in Exhibit-\n<\/p>\n
P2.\n<\/p>\n
       May   be   there   is   substance   in   this   contention   going   by<\/p>\n
Exhibit-P3.  In my view, the petitioner’s grievance will have to be<\/p>\n
looked into by the 1st respondent  in the first instance.  A copy of<\/p>\n
the writ petition has been served on the standing counsel for the<\/p>\n
Municipality.\n<\/p>\n
W.P ( C) No.  36802  of 2007<\/p>\n
                                         2<\/span><\/p>\n
      In the result,this writ petition is disposed of permitting the<\/p>\n
petitioner to file a representation seeking revocation or variation<\/p>\n
of Exhibit-P2 order of transfer, before the 1st  respondent.   If he<\/p>\n
files a representation in this regard, within one week from today,<\/p>\n
it   shall   be   looked   into   and   appropriate   decision   shall   be   taken,<\/p>\n
after   hearing   the   petitioner   and,   if   necessary,   after   calling   for<\/p>\n
remarks     from   the     Manjeri   Municipality,   within   three   weeks<\/p>\n
thereafter.\n<\/p>\n
