Learned counsel for the State is present. The writ petition has been filed against the decision of the State Government to transfer 75 2 Engineering Works Divisions in full and 25 Works Divisions in part, besides 25 Circles and 4 Zones of Chief Engineers from the Water Resources Department to the Rural Development Department alongwith its assets and personnel. There is no averment in the writ petition that the same has caused any adverse consequences on the service conditions of the petitioners. The only plea is that the works which were being done by those Divisions would be curtailed/abandoned. 2. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the firm opinion that restructuring of such organizations is well within the domain of the State Government for it is a policy matter for the State to decide. The Court will only come in the picture if there is any violation of any right accruing to any of the persons concerned. In the present case, no such violation is alleged or perceivable. 3. For the reasons aforesaid, this Court finds no merit in this application and the same being misconceived stands dismissed. mrl ( Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.) 3
