The Original Application having been heard on 14.10.2026, the Tribunal on the same day delivered the following: O R D E R (Oral):- Justice K. Haripal, Judicial Member The main grievance of the applicant as Technician Grade-I is that he was not considered for transfer to Palghat Division, that overlooking his priority, the 5th respondent was granted a transfer which is arbitrary and discriminatory. During the pendency of the Original Application, by order dated 29.09.2026, copy has been produced today by the learned Counsel for the applicant, the applicant stands transferred to Palghat. The document is taken on record. Thus the OA has become infructuous.
