IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE TWENTYETH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO : 17273 of 2009 Between: D.R.Joga Rao, Rajahmundry. ..... PETITIONER AND The A.P.Eastern Power Distribution Company Ltd., Rep.by the Superintending Engineer, Operation Circle, APEPDCL, Vidyut Sakha Bhavan, Godavari bund, Rajahmundry. E.G.District and other. .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17273 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order passed by the 1st respondent dated 12.3.2009 thereby transferring the petitioner from Rajahmundry to Electricity Revenue Office, Razole as arbitrary, illegal and contrary to G.O.Ms.No.236 dated 27.5.1996. Though various contentions have been raised by the petitioner, I am not inclined to go into the merits of the case, since the petitioner has already made a representation on 13.8.2009, requesting the 1st respondent to retain him at Rajahmundry explaining the reasons for the said request. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 13.8.2009 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law taking into consideration the G.O.Ms.No.236 dated 27.5.2006, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. _______________ Justice G.Rohini Date:20.08.2009 mrb
