THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22849 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Junior Assistant (NMR), in the A.P. State Cooperative Rural Irrigation Corporation Limited, the 1st respondent. Through proceedings, dated 03.07.2010, the 1st respondent transferred the petitioner from Anantapur Sub-Division to Mahaboobnagar Sub-Division. The petitioner challenges the said proceedings. He contends that he was not paid salary on regular basis and that the employees in the Mahaboobnagar Sub-division are not being paid salaries at all. He further contends that his wife is working as a Panchayat Secretary for a village in Anantapur and it would be difficult for him to work in Mahaboobnagar Sub-division. On behalf of respondents, a detailed counter-affidavit is filed. It is stated that the petitioner is irregular for duties and he absented for months together. It is also stated that the Corporation is in deep financial crisis and despite the same, the petitioner was being paid salaries in lumpsum, though with some delay. The respondents contend that the transfer of the petitioner became eminent, in the context of redistribution of work. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner is working on NMR basis. It appears that the 1st respondent-Corporation is in financial crisis. According to them, there are dues to a tune of Rs.3.25 lakhs towards the salaries. The petitioner and others are being continued, on the strength of the interim orders passed by this Court. When there is no work of drilling in Anantapur District, they have transferred the petitioner to Mahaboobnagar Sub-division. No exception can be taken to the same. Further, the past conduct of the petitioner is not that much encouraging. He went on leave for months together. Even if it can be said that there was a justifiable cause for it, the work of the Corporation would certainly suffer. This Court is not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. The petitioner is granted 15 days time to report to duty at the transferred place. It shall be open to the petitioner to make representation for payment of arrears of salary or for remittance of E.P.F. deductions etc. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L.
