THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21862 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as a constable. On his request, he was posted to the unit at BHEL on 09.09.2009. The Deputy Inspector General, Central Industrial Security Force, South Zone, Chennai issued proceedings dated 09.06.2011 transferring the petitioner and three others from BHEL unit to other places on administrative grounds. The petitioner challenged the same. It is contended that the petitioner was transferred to BHEL unit by denying the regular allowances and that even before the regular period of three years is completed, he is sought to be shifted. It is further pleaded that the children of the petitioner are studying in Kendriya Vidyalaya and shifting them in the middle of the academic year would result in hardship. The respondents have filed counter affidavit wherein it is stated that the transfer of the petitioner was ordered on administrative grounds and he has no right to stay at a particular unit and that the facility of Kendriya Vidyalaya is also available at the place to which the petitioner is sought to be transferred and therefore, the petitioner would not suffer any setback. There exists no doubt, a transfer policy, which is to the effect that the transfers, as far as possible must be made in the month of April or May and effecting of transfers in the middle of the academic year must be avoided. This, however, is directory in nature and cannot be treated as mandatory. Further, as the transfer is made on administrative grounds, this Court cannot look into the reasons therefor. The hardship pleaded by the petitioner in the context of his children is taken care of and does not seem to be correct since there exists Kendriya Vidyalaya at the place to which the petitioner is sought to be transferred. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:27.09.2011. lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.
