THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA Writ Petition No.11999 of 2006 Dated:16th June, 2006 Between: V.Sankaraiah. …..PETITIONER AND The Deputy Chief Personal Manager, Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, Vijayawada, Krishna District. ….RESPONDENT THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA W.P.No.11999 of 2002 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondent in issuing the proceedings in No.E2/813(4)/06- Dy.CPM/VJA dated 6-4-2006 transferring the petitioner from Vijayawada to Eluru on the ground of long standing at the present place as arbitrary, illegal and consequently to direct the respondent to continue the petitioner in the present place. The petitioner is working as Shroff in the respondent Corporation. He was transferred to Vijayawada in the year 1996 and since then he is discharging his duties unblemished. The respondent Corporation issued a common order transferring 13 employees in Vijayawada zone, the petitioner being one amongst, on the ground of their long standing at the present place. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the respondent has selected him alone and transferred to Vijayawada on the ground of long standing though there are other employees who have been working for more than 12 years, and that he made a representation on 1-6-2006 requesting the respondent to continue him in Vijayawada on health grounds, but the respondent did not consider his request and that still he is continuing as Shroff in the present place. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Standing Counsel for A.P.S.R.T.C. Transfers are an incident of service for they are made keeping in view the administrative exigencies and requirements of the organization, and so long as the salaries and other perks are not effected the petitioner has to go and work wherever he is transferred and the petitioner cannot question the transfer as a matter of right. I see no reason to interfere with the impugned order of the respondent. The Writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ (N.V. RAMANA, J.) Date:16th June, 2006. GRK
