THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.14421 2003 September 15, 2011 Between: L.Manmadha Rao, S/o.Sri L.Simhachalam .. Petitioner And The Project Officer, I.T.D.A., Seethampeta, Srikakulam And others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.14421 of 2003 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice V.V.S.Rao) The petitioner, who at the relevant time was working as Hostel Welfare Officer in the Tribal Welfare Department, was transferred from Saravakota to Mandasa in Srikakulam District. He assailed the same before the Tribunal, inter alia, on the ground that transfer was effected on disciplinary grounds. The Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal having regard to the Government policy to post officers to various stations depending upon the results of the inmates of hostels in SSC examination repelled the challenge and dismissed the O.A. No.4545 of 2003, aggrieved by which the present writ petition is filed. If the Government has taken a policy to make Hostel Welfare Officers responsible for the results of the SSC students staying in the hostels and if the petitioner has failed to achieve the target, the transfer from one hostel to another hostel does not in any way result in stigma. Further, the transfer order itself was made on 07.7.2003 and as per the Government policy, ordinarily a public servant is transferred once in three years. In that view of the matter, nothing survives in this writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. No costs. ________________ (V.V.S.
