The Madhya Pradesh Administrative Tribunal at Raipur vid® interim order dated 15.10.2001 directed to maiBtain status quo in regard to the position of the petitioner as was prevaUing on 01.10.2001. By virtue of the interim order the petitioner is continuing at the original plaee ofposting. Be that as it may, with the passage of tiiae this petition has become infructuous as period of transfer is not applicable forever. At this point oftime, there is no question to examine tbe validity ofthe transfer order. However, the respondents are at liberty to pass appropriate order keeping in view the public interest and administrative exigency, without insisting on compliance ofthe impugned transfer order. It is well settled principle of law that transfer is an incident of service and it is for the employer to deeide as to where a particular offieer/employee be posted, keq?mg w- view public interest as wel! as administrative exigency. This Court has iimited jurisdiction to interfere in the transfer matter and this Court can interfere only in the ease of proved malafide, non- competence of authority passing the transfer order and transfer order not being in conformity with the rules and regulations. In view ofthe above, this petition stands disposed of. No order as tocosts. Amst
