The petitioner is working in All India Radio at Hyderabad for the last 22 years in different capacities. The petitioner was transferred through the impugned proceedings to Adilabad Radio Station. The petitioner approached this Court challenging the said transfer order on the ground that Adilabad is a difficult station. 2. The petitioner was transferred in the normal course on administrative grounds and no bias can be attributed to the concerned authorities. Since all other employees are working at Adilabad without expressing any difficulty, Adilabad cannot be treated as a difficult station. 3. The petitioner, therefore, cannot invoke the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India without any cause of action. 4. The writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable. No order as to costs. ____________________ Dr.G.YETHIRAJULU, J Dated: 16-11-2004 LSK/VS To 1.
