THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 21038 of 2007 Date: 05.10.2007 Between: P.P.N.G. Varalakshmi. ..... PETITIONER AND The Chief General manager, Telecom (BSNL), A.P. Circle, Hyderabad and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 21038 of 2007 Order: The petitioner, who is working as STS (O) in the office of the Deputy General Manager, BSNL, Kakinada, has filed this writ petition assailing the order dated 14.05.2007, issued by the 2nd respondent, transferring her from Kakinada to Anaparthy. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-BSNL. The main contention of the petitioner is that as per the agreement entered into between the Management and the Staff Union the women employees should not be transferred beyond 40 KMs, and since the distance between Kakinada and Anaparthy is about 43 KMs, the impugned transfer order passed by the 2nd respondent, transferring her from Kakinada to Anaparthy, violates the agreement entered into between the Management and Staff Union. If that is the case, the petitioner has to approach the authorities concerned and express her grievances, if any. The scope of interference in the orders of transfer is well settled. Transfer is an incidence of service, and is made keeping in view the administrative exigencies and needs of the organization. This Court normally does not interfere in matter of transfer, unless it is shown that the transfer has been effected mala fide or for extraneous reasons. The writ petition is devoid of merit and the same is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the authorities concerned and express her grievances, if any. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 05.10.2007 Nsr
