1.

The petitioner, who is working as Senior Superintendent at

Regional Audit Office, Pathanamthitta, has filed this writ petition

challenging Ext.P2 by which he is transferred and posted at Electrical

Section, Unnikulam in Calicut. According to the petitioner, he is retiring

from service in July 2019 and he has joined the present station only in

2015. It is his case that the transfer is ordered because he is an office

bearer of employees union belonging to the rival faction to the ruling

party. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P4 appeal before the Director

(Finance), Chairman, Transfer Grievances Redressal Committee,

Vydythi Bhavanam, Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram. By Ext.P5 the Chief

Engineer (HRM) has ordered to relieve all the incumbents except very

few persons mentioned therein. The petitioner submits that he has not

received any orders on the appeal.

2.

As the order of transfer itself has provided for an appeal

before the appeal committee, it is only appropriate that the appeal

committee pass orders and communicate the same to the employees

who have submitted appeals.

3.

In the above circumstances, there shall be a direction to the appeal committee to consider Ext.P4 and to communicate the order to

the petitioner within a period of two weeks. Till such time the petitioner

shall be allowed to continue in the same station.

The Director (Finance), Chairman, Transfer Grievances Redressal

Committee, Vydythi Bhavanam, Pattom, Thiruvananthapuram is suo

motu impleaded as additional 3rd respondent.
