THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.14517 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners are working as Conductors or Drivers, as the case may be, in Hyderabad Region. All of them were transferred to Hayathnagar-II Depot, through orders 28.05.2010 passed by the Executive Director. However, a communication was received by the Executive Director to the effect that approval was not given for transfer of the employees and that the seniority must be followed, while effecting transfers. Taking the same into account, the Regional Manager, the 3rd respondent, passed an order, dated 17.06.2010 cancelling the earlier orders of transfer. The petitioners challenge the same. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned standing counsel for the respondents. While admitting the writ petition, this Court passed an interim order. It is stated that on the strength of the interim order, the petitioners are continuing in the places to which they were posted earlier. More than one year has elapsed. No useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending. As and when the petitioners become due for transfer, according to the policy, transfers can certainly be affected. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside. It is left open to the respondents to transfer the petitioners or any other employees in accordance with the relevant circulars and guidelines. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:13.10.2011 GJ
