To appreciate the questions raised by the appellant before us, relevant facts may be stated: The appellant is working as an Assistant Registrar in the Andhra University, Waltair. The 3rd respondent transferred him from the post of Assistant Registrar (Administration) to the post of Assistant Registrar (Department of Commerce). Again, he was transferred to A.U.Study Centre, C.S.R.Sarma College, Ongole on deputation, for which he made a representation to the authorities concerned. Further more, there is no post of Assistant Registrar at any of the A.U.Study Centres and there is no budgetary allotment to the said post. The 3rd respondent has no power or authority to transfer him and it is for the Executive Council which has to take a decision for transfer. Hence, the writ petition. Controverting the allegations made in the writ petition, the respondents filed counter-affidavits. Having gone through the entire material, the learned single Judge while observing that in pursuance of the decision taken by the University to deploy additional staff to the study centers to strengthen them and also to cater the needs of the students, the transfer of the petitioner has been affected, dismissed the writ petition. At this stage, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the University submits that the appellant herein has been promoted as Assistant Registrar. Hence, we feel it appropriate if liberty is granted to the appellant to put forth his grievance, which he raised in the writ appeal, in the form of representation to the Executive Council. The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly. _____________________ T.MEENA KUMARI, J __________________________ P.LAKSHMANA REDDY, J 05.07.2005 rkk To 1 The Andhra University, Rep. by its Registrar, Visakhapatnam - 530 003. 2 The Vice- Chancellor, Andhra Univeristy, Visakhapatnam - 530 003. 3 Prof. Y.C.
