IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 15093 of 2006 DATED: 21-07-2006 Between: Md.Kaseem and 16 others PETITIONER AND APSRTC, Anantapur region Rep by its Regional Manager RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO. 15093 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-APSRTC. The petitioners, who are working as Conductors and Drivers with the respondents-APSRTC, has filed this writ petition assailing the order of transfer dated 6.4.2006. The learned counsel for petitioners submit that the petitioners herein were transferred by order dated 6.4.2006 on long standing basis and the impugned order is not in accordance with circular dated 17.11.2004 wherein it is stated that transfers on long standing basis shall be made after 10th June and before 1st April, of the year. Transfer is an incidence of service, and is made keeping in view the administrative exigencies and needs of the organization. It is not a punishment. To run the organization effectively, the respondents are empowered to transfer their employees. This Court normally does not interfere in matter of transfer, unless it is shown that the transfer has been made on mala fide grounds or for extraneous reasons. If the petitioners have any grievance on their transfer to other place, they have to submit a representation to the concerned authorities indicating their grievances. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction; The petitioners are directed to submit a representation to the Regional Manager-first respondent indicating their difficulties on transfer and on filing such a representation, the first respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law and circular instructions of the respondent corporation, expeditiously. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 21-07-2006 TVK THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
