HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR WRIT PETITION NO. 20730 OF 2011 Between: G.C.Su8bbarayudu S/o G. C. Subbaiah aged about 53 years ………….Petitioners AND Union of India, represented by its Director General, Department of Posts, and four others ………….Respondents ORDER: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This Writ Petition has been filed seeking to issue an order particularly one in the nature of Writ of Certiorari calling for the records pertaining to the orders dated 22.6.2011 passed in O.A.No. 410 of 2011 by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad and quash the same as illegal and consequently declare the orders dated 18.4.2011 of the 4th respondent-Superintendent of Post Offices, Nandyal Division, as illegal and arbitrary. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner herein joined the respondent department as Postal Assistant with effect from 1.8.1980 and was posted at Dupadu under Markapur Head Office. It is stated that on completion of 16 years of service the applicant was granted TBOP (Time Bound One Promotion) with effect from 1.8.1996 and on completion of further 10 years period, the petitioner was promoted to BCR cadre on 1.8.2006. It is also stated that the petitioner was considered for rotational transfer for the year 2009 while he was working as Postal Assistant, Markapur Head Post Office, vide Rotational Transfer Order dated 30.5.2009 and was transferred to work as Sub-Post Master, Owk Sub Office and he joined on 8.6.2009. While so, he was issued another rotational transfer order dated 18.4.2011 transferring the petitioner back to the place from where he had come viz., to Markapur Head Post Office. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred O.A.No. 410 of 2011 before the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad and the Tribunal dismissed the O.A. Aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that only after completion of 1 year nine months he is transferred back to Markapur, which is against the rules and as per which the petitioner is required to continue at one place after posting for four years. He also submits that the attachments would not come in his way of working at Owk Sub-Office and that as Sub- Postmaster, the petitioner will not be directly dealing with cash. On the other hand, the learned Assistant Solicitor General, appearing for respondents submits that the Tribunal rightly dismissed the O.A and there are no grounds to interfere with the order. Heard the learned counsel appearing for both sides and also perused the material made available on record. It is no doubt true that the petitioner received two attachments against his salary. Even though the petitioner is not directly dealing with cash and other staff would be dealing with financial matters, the department thought it fit that it is not desirable to continue the petitioner at Owk Sub-Office and therefore, the Department transferred the petitioner to Markapur. Therefore, the petitioner cannot question his transfer as a matter of right as it is an incidence of service. In view of the above, we see no illegality or arbitrariness in the order passed by the Tribunal and the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _____________________ K.G. SHANKAR, J DATE: 29.07.2011 KA ...
