HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Dated 17-11-2009 WRIT PETITION No :16952 of 2009 Between: M.Anil Kumar. PETITIONER. And: 1. A.P. Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society, Masab Tank, Hyderabad represented by its Secretary and others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner is working as a Post Graduate Teacher in A.P.S.W.E. School/Junior College-1st respondent society. This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the action of the respondents in transferring the petitioner from A.P.S.W.E. School/Junior college, Verapanenigudem, Krishna District to Tiruvuru. The petitioner had earlier filed Writ Petition No.14679 of 2009 challenging the said order of transfer and the same was disposed of by order dated 27.07.2009 permitting the petitioner to prefer an appeal. Accordingly, the petitioner preferred an appeal and having considered the same, the 2nd respondent by order dated 04.08.2009 confirmed the order of transfer dated 30.07.2009. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is field. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the counter filed on behalf of the respondents as well as other material available on record. It is to be noticed that A.P.S.W.E. School/Junior College, Verapanenigudem, Krishna District is a girls institution. As per Rule 7 of the Service Rules of the society, female teachers only have to be posted in girls institutes and in case no female teacher is available a male teacher above 50 years of age has to be posted. Admittedly, the petitioner is below 50 years and in the circumstances, in compliance with the Rules/guidelines, he was transferred to the Boys Institution at Tiruvuru. It is true that the petitioner’s wife is working in Verapanenigudem, Government Junior College and the impugned transfer to Tiruvuru may cause inconvenience to the petitioner and his family. However, that cannot be a valid ground to interfere with the impugned order of transfer, which is made in conformity with Service Rules. As a matter of fact, taking into consideration the hardship and inconvenience that may result to the petitioner’s family, he is posted within Krishna District only. In the circumstances, the impugned action cannot be held to be arbitrary or illegal and no mandamus can be issued compelling the respondents to act contrary to law. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. _____________________ Justice G.ROHINI Dated: 17-11-2009. Dvs HONOURABLE MS.
