Counsel for the Petitioner:DR.P.B.VIJAY KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent No.: K.MADHAVA REDDY(SC FOR APSRTC) The Court made the following : ORDER This writ petition is ﬁled challenging the proceedings No.E2/255(10)/07-HZ dated 1.9.2008, modifying the posting order vide proceedings No.E2/255(10)/07-HZ, dated 21.6.2008 of the 3rd respondent as arbitrary and illegal and consequently to direct the respondents to give eﬀect to the posting orders vide proceedings dated 21.6.2008. It appears that the petitioner, while working as Deputy Superintendent (Material), was promoted and posted as Superintendent (Material) at Medak. On 1.9.2008, he was relieved from Falaknuma and when he went to Medak for reporting, to his utter surprise, in his place, one K.B.Chary was posted and he was transferred from Medak to Atchampet by proceedings dated 1.9.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that passing such an order within a short span of time is arbitrary and illegal. Learned counsel for the respondents states that in view of administrative exigencies such an order was passed and it cannot be found fault with. Learned counsel for the petitioner further stated that the petitioner is suﬀering from rarest of rare disease and had to undergo treatment regularly and therefore, he may be posted at any place in and around Hyderabad instead of transferring to Atchampet. I am of the opinion that the order passed by the respondents cannot be interfered with. However, the petitioner is directed to ﬁle a detailed representation, ventilating his grievance, along with the medical certiﬁcate, if any, and on ﬁling such representation, the competent authority shall examine the same and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________ 17-09-2008 rkk
