The said writ petition has been filed challenging an order of transfer of the first respondent dated 01.03.2011. The only contention of the appellant / writ petitioner is that he has been transferred on the administrative ground. 3. The learned Single Judge has dismissed the writ petition on the ground that though the Election Commission banned of transfer, the same will be applicable only with regard to the officials connected with the conduct of elections and the writ petitioner has not connected with the conduct of election. As against the said order, the present Writ Appeal has been filed. 4. From a perusal of the records, it is seen that the appellant was holding the same post in the same place for more than five years and he has been transferred on administrative ground. Since the post of the appellant is transferable one, after having served five years in the said post in the same place, he has been transferred. Nothing otherwise has been made out in this writ appeal. We do not find any infirmity in the order of the learned Single Judge. Consequently, this Writ Appeal is liable to be dismissed. 5. Accordingly, this writ appeal is dismissed. However, there will be no order as to costs. Consequently, the connected M.P.(MD)No.1 of 2011 is also dismissed.
