o HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR WRIT PETITION NO. 32507 OF 2010 Between: Mohd. Sadath Ali Khan S/o Late Mohd.Abbas Ali Khan ………….Petitioner AND The Executive Engineer, I & CAD, QC & TRS Division and four others ………….Respondents ORDER: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner in the nature of Writ of Certiorari calling for records relating to Order dated 06.12.2010 passed by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No. 7693 of 2010 and quash the same as illegal. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner herein preferred O.A No. 7693 of 2010 aggrieved by the proceedings of the 2nd respondent dated 12.10.2010, through which he has been promoted as a Senior Assistant and posted to I.B. Division, Mahaboobnagar District in the existing vacancy. As the only grievance of the applicant is that he ought not to have been posted in Mahaboobnagar, the Tribunal disposed of the O.A holding that as far as postings on promotions are concerned, it is totally the discretion of the administrative authorities to post the individuals where necessity arises. Aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is facing severe hardship due to transfer as his permanent house is situated at Hyderabad and he has to shift his family all the way from Hyderabad to Mahboobnagar. Heard. This Writ Petition is misconceived inasmuch as the petitioner cannot question the transfer or the decision taken by the department on administrative grounds as a matter of right. Transfer is an incidence of Service. This Court cannot interfere with the transfer orders unless it is shown that such transfer order is issued with a malafide intention. Further, the petitioner does not have any right to claim a particular place of posting on promotion. In the case on hand the respondent authorities thought it is necessary in the interest of administration to transfer the petitioner herein on promotion from Hyderabad to IB Division, Mahaboobnagar. Therefore, we see no reasons to interfere with the order passed by the Tribunal and the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR, J DATE: 27.12.2010 KA ...
