JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.18320 of 2009 (Dated : 02-09-2009) Between: Smt.P.Ammayamma W/o M.S.Prakash Rao Now Working as Telugu Teacher in APSWRS/B Kanchill, Srikakulam District. …Petitioner A n d The Chairman A.P. Society Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society And others …Respondents THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.18320 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner herein is working as a Telugu teacher in Andhra Pradesh Social Welfare Residential School/Junior College (Boys) (“APSWRS/JC(B)”) at Kanchili, Srikakulam District. It is stated that the petitioner has not yet completed five years of service, and therefore, as per the guidelines, she need not be shifted from the said place during general transfers for which counseling was held in July 2009. However, the 5th respondent herein who is working as T.G.T (Telugu) in the same institution was transferred and posted to APSWRS(B), Palakonda, Srikakulam District vide proceedings of the 2nd respondent dated 16.7.2009. Aggrieved by the same, the 5th respondent preferred an appeal before the first respondent. Pursuant thereto, the first respondent passed the impugned order dated 20.8.2009 directing that the 5th respondent shall be transferred and posted to APSWRS/JC (Boys), Kanchili in place of the writ petitioner and in turn, the petitioner who is working in APSWRS/JC (Boys), Kanchili shall be transferred and posted to APSWRS/JC (Girls), Mandasa, Srikakaulam District, in an existing vacancy. Aggrieved by the same, this writ petition is filed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr.K.Durga Prasad, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. It is specifically contended by the petitioner that the impugned order has been passed by the first respondent at the instance of the 5th respondent only to accommodate him at a place of his choice. It is also contended that the impugned order, which was passed without giving an opportunity to the petitioner to make her representation, is arbitrary, illegal and in violation of the principles of natural justice apart from being contrary to the Transfer guidelines. Admittedly, the impugned order was passed without notice to the writ petitioner. By virtue of the said order, the petitioner has been disturbed even before completion of 5 years, which according to the petitioner is contrary to Transfer guidelines. Such an order ought not to have been passed by the 1st respondent without considering the petitioner’s objections, if any. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner herein to make an appropriate representation before the first respondent raising all her objections against the impugned order within a period of one week from the date of receipt of this order and the first respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of two weeks thereafter, after hearing the petitioner as well as the 5th respondent. Till such time, status quo obtaining as on today in all respects shall be maintained. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI, J 2nd September 2009 Note:- Issue CC in (2) days (B/o) RAR THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.18320 of 2009 (Dated : 02-09-2009)
