Muni Reddy, S/o Peddanna @ Muni Venkata Reddy, working as Supervisor in Chittoor District Co0operative Central Bank Limited, Chittoor, Chittoor District. .... PETITIONER AND The General Manager, The Chittoor District Co-operative Central Bank Limited, Chittoor, Chittoor District. .....RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 18256 of 2006 Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material on record. The petitioner, who is working as a Supervisor in the respondent-Bank, has filed this writ petition assailing the order dated 27.07.2006, passed by the respondent-Bank, transferring him from Punganur Branch to Head Office at Chittoor. The petitioner states that he underwent major operation and his wife is also suffering from ill health, and they have to take regular treatment at Bangalore. He further states that earlier on his request only, he was transferred and posted at Punganur Branch on 13.03.2006, and therefore, the present impugned orders passed by the respondent-Bank transferring him from Punganur Branch to Head Office at Chittoor, is illegal and arbitrary. 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. This Court normally does not interfere in matters of transfer, unless it is shown that the transfer has been made on mala fide grounds or for extraneous reasons. Be that as it may, if the petitioner is aggrieved by the impugned transfer orders, he is at liberty to make appropriate representation seeking his retention at the present place, and if any such representation is made, it is open for the respondent-Bank to consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 01.09.2006 Nsr/Grk
