1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR Writ Petition No.1296 of 2009 [Rajendra N. Mankar Vs. Bharat Earth Movers Ltd. & ors.] Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Mr. A.Z. Jibhkate, Adv., for the petitioner. Mrs. U.A. Patil, Adv., holding for Mr. A.R. Patil, Adv., for respondent nos. 1 to 3. ----- CORAM : A.H. JOSHI AND P.B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : 26th February, 2010. 1. Heard. 2. Petitioner is praying for a direction to accept his request for voluntary retirement, and is also challenging the order of transfer. 3. In so far as first prayer for a direction as to voluntary retirement is concerned, on the face of it, petition for this prayer is not tenable. Reason is that it is not a case where a proposal for voluntary retirement was declined, and the refusal was under challenge. 4. In so far as second relief relating to transfer is concerned, the transfer is challenged on the ground of mala fides. 2 5. Admittedly, the petitioner's job is transferable, and he had craved for transfer from field work to the office. Petitioner cannot insist that office work would necessarily mean office at Nagpur. Moreover, he had not made any specific request. 6. No grounds are made out for sustaining the challenge. 7. This apart, Petition involves disputed questions of facts. 8. In the circumstances, petition has no merit, and is rejected. Judge Judge |Hedau|
