Respondents Mr. K. K. Waghmare for petitioner. Mr. Samir Patil, AGP for respondent nos.1 to 6. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & U. D. SALVI, JJ. DECEMBER 06, 2010. P.C. 1. Heard Mr. Waghmare the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. Original Application No. 652 of 2008 was filed before the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal (MAT) by the petitioner (applicant no.2) and three others challenging the transfer orders dated 19/4/2007 and 18/8/2007. By the impugned judgment dated 22/1/2010, the said O.A. 2 wp-6175-10 came to be allowed for applicant nos.1, 3 and 4 and the challenge of the present petitioner to his transfer order has been rejected and hence this petition. 3. The Tribunal noted that the petitioner was on his own request transferred to Miraj on 26/2/1999 and on 1/1/2006 the department had published the seniority list. As per the GR dated 10/9/2001 a separate list of surplus employees was required to be considered and, therefore, it was noted by the department that the petitioner and one more employee junior to him in the post of Milk Distributor were found to be surplus at Miraj. Hence, the petitioner came to be transferred from Miraj to Pune. 4. The Tribunal noted that the petitioner and his junior employee in the post of Milk Distributor were transferred from Miraj and, therefore, no junior employee to the petitioner was retained. Hence, the grievance raised by the petitioner before the Tribunal was found to be without any substance. As of now the petitioner has been working at Pune for the last about three years and at this point of time we do not see any reason to interfere with the view taken by the Tribunal. 3 wp-6175-10 5. Hence, the petition is rejected. (U.D. SALVI, J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
