THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18903 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Executive Engineer in the A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited at Khammam. Recently, the Government issued G.O.Rt.No.140, dated 13.06.2011, affecting transfer of Executive Engineers throughout the State. As many as 22 Officers including respondent No.3 were transferred to different places. The petitioner contends that she submitted a representation to respondent No.1 with a prayer to transfer her to Kakinada or Amalapuram or Kovvuru or Peddapuram. Her grievance is that without considering her request, respondent No.1 transferred respondent No.3 to Amalapuram. She contends that the stay of respondent No.3 at Nagarkurnool was hardly 8 months and that he is junior to her. With these and other grounds, the petitioner not only challenges the transfer of respondent No.3, but also prays for a direction to the respondent Nos.1 and 2 to transfer her to one of the places chosen by her. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The stay of the petitioner at Khammam is just 8 months by the time she submitted her representation. It may be true that the stay of respondent No.3 at Nagarkurnool was also the same. Respondent No.1 affected general transfers. Incidentally, one or two cases were also considered on request. The case of respondent No.3 falls into that. Assuming that the transfer of respondent No.3 from Nagarkurnnol to Amalapuram is untenable, the petitioner has to make out a case for her transfer itself. Her stay was less than one year and the grounds pleaded by her did not appeal to the Government. This Court cannot sit as an appellate authority. The transfer is an incidence of service and the petitioner cannot be said to have suffered any detriment. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:09.09.2011. kdl
