IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 14150 of 2006 DATED: 13-07-2006 Between: S.M.Subhani PETITIONER AND The Regional Manager APSRTC, Krishna Region, Vijayawada Krishna district and another RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO. 14150 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-APSRTC. The petitioner, who is working as Conductor with the respondents-APSRTC, has filed this writ petition assailing the transfer of the petitioner to Tiruvuru depot. The learned counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner is suffering from paralasis and heart disease and has only two years of service left over and transferring him at this stage is unjust. It is further submitted that the petitioner has submitted a representation dated 2.7.2006 to the Regional Manager, Krishna Region, expressing the difficulties, however, there is no response. Transfer is an incidence of service, and is made keeping in view the administrative exigencies and needs of the organization. It is not a punishment. This Court normally does not interfere in matter of transfer, unless it is shown that the transfer has been made on mala fide grounds or for extraneous reasons. However, since the representation of the petitioner dated 2.7.2006 is pending consideration, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction; The Regional Manager-first respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 2.7.2006 expeditiously, if not already disposed of. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 13-07-2006 TVK THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
