THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR W.P.No.5722 of 2011 ORDER(Per Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed, J) The petitioner filed O.A.No.546 of 2011 before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Tribunal’), seeking to set aside the proceedings, dated 18.01.2011, issued by the 3rd respondent transferring her from PHC Digwal, Medak District to PHC Nandigama, Mahabubnagar District. She states that she filed a criminal case against her colleague Mr.Ravi Kumar and as she is not willing to withdraw the same, the other staff members bore grudge against her and made a complaint against her. She further states that consequent upon the report of 4th respondent, the 3rd respondent effected the said transfer, but transferred Mr. Ravi Kumar to nearby place. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Services-I 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the 3rd respondent transferred the petitioner to a distance of 200 Kms from the place of her husband, who is working as Senior Assistant in Medak District and as such, she is facing much hardship. 4. A perusal of the material on record shows that as against the complaint made by the staff members of PHC Digwal, the 4th respondent had conducted enquiry and submitted a report suggesting her transfer from that place in order to smooth functioning of PHC at Digwal and accordingly, the 3rd respondent transferred the petitioner as well as Mr. Ravi Kumar on administrative grounds. It is well settled that unless the order of transfer is shown to be an outcome of a mala fide exercise of power or violative of any statutory provision, the same cannot be interfered with. 5. In view of the above, we do not find any infirmity in the order impugned warranting interference by this Court. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to make a representation to the 3rd respondent, and on such submission of the same, the 3rd respondent shall dispose of the same within a period of three weeks thereafter. No costs. _____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________ K.G.SHANKAR, J Date:08.03.2011 sj
