THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.20001 OF 2001 17.08.2011 Between: The Principal Secretary to Government, Labour, Employment, Training & Factories (Lab.IV) Department, And another …. Petitioners AND Mohd.Yousufuddin @ Y.R.Babu … Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.20001 OF 2001 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S.Rao) The writ petition by the Principal Secretary, Government in Labour, Employment and Training Department is against the order dated 07.09.2001 in V.M.A.No.436 of 2001 in O.A.No.4800 of 2001 passed by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal. The respondent at the relevant time was working as Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Circle-I, Ranga Reddy District. By G.O.Ms.No.1640 dated 06.07.2001, he was transferred to Khammam. He challenged the same in the original application. By an order dated 01.08.2001, the learned Tribunal suspended the transfer order. The petitioner then filed V.M.A., which was dismissed on 07.09.2001. It is axiomatic that in exercise of power of judicial review ordinarily orders transferring Government servants are not interfered with. The transfer is an incidence of public employment. Subject to tenure policy, if any, it is always open to the Appointing Authority to transfer any employee for administrative reasons. The order of the learned Tribunal is therefore unsustainable. Be that as it is, Sri Siva, Government Pleader attached to the learned Advocate General, submits that the respondent has retired on 30.06.2004. In that view of the matter, no further adjudication is necessary. The writ petition is therefore dismissed as infructuous. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) ___________________ (K.G.SHANKAR, J) 17.08.2011 Pln
