THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
14.06.2022, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 19144 OF 2022

JUDGMENT
Even though various assertions and averments have been made and urged in this writ petition, when this matter was called today, the learned counsel for the petitioner - Sri.R.T.Pradeep, confined his plea that the second respondent
- Registrar be directed to take up Ext.P3 representation, made by his client seeking transfer to the vacancy of Office Attendant arising on the retirement of the incumbent on superannuation at the Livestock Research Station, Thiruvizhamkunnu, within a time frame to be fixed by this Court. The learned counsel submitted that his client has been constrained to approach this Court because the vacancy is to arise on 30.11.2022 and unless his claim is properly considered, he will be denied his eligible transfer.
2. Sri.Manu Govind, learned standing counsel for the first respondent, in response, submitted that if the petitioner only requires Ext.P3 to be taken up and disposed of by the second respondent - Registrar, he would not stand in the way of such orders being issued ; however, praying that this Court may not make any affirmative declarations as to his entitlement to any relief and leave it to the competent WP(C) NO. 19144 OF 2022 3 Authority to take a decision on it in terms of law.
Resultantly, I order this writ petition and direct the second respondent to take up Ext.P3 request of the petitioner and dispose of the same, after hearing him, as also respondents 3 and 4 or any other person interested; thus culminating in an appropriate order thereon, as expeditiously as is possible, but not later than one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
