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
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.
