Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.BALAGANGADHARAIAH Counsel for the Respondent Nos. 1 to 3: GP FOR WOMEN DEV. & CHILD WELFARE The Court at the admission stage made the following: ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) Aggrieved by an order dated 15.10.2003 in O.A.No.3222 of 2000 of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, the unsuccessful applicant therein filed the present writ petition. 2. The petitioner was working as Senior Assistant in the office of the ICDS, Husnabad, Karimnagar District. The first respondent by his order dated 30.03.2000 in Proceedings No.340/B/98 sought to transfer the applicant from Husnabad to Mahadevpur of the same district. 3. We find more than one ground to dismiss the writ petition i.e., 1) that the order of the Tribunal in question was passed on 15.10.2003, no explanation whatsoever is found for such delay to approach this Court. 2) When the matter was taken up for hearing by the Tribunal, there was no representation on behalf of the applicant. Lastly, it is ultimately an order of transfer, which is an incident of service and that too after lapse of more than four years after the petitioner was originally posted at Husnabad. 4. We do not see any reason to interfere with the orders passed by the Tribunal. There are no merits in this writ petition. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the admission stage. ________________ J.CHELAMESWAR, J _________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated 05th November, 2004. ycr/pgs To 1 The District Collector, Karimnagar. 2 The Regional Deputy Director, Women Development & Child Welfare, Advocates’ Colony, Hanamkonda, Warangal District. 3 The Child Development Project Officer, I.C.D.S.
