HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 582 of 2008 Dated 18th January, 2008 Between M. Venkateswarlu …Petitioner and The Divisional Security Commissioner, Sanchalan bhavan, Secunderabad, and, anr …Respondents. THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 582 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner, who is working as Constable in Railway Protection Force at Khmmam, has filed this Writ Petition questioning the order of transfer dated 14-1-2008, transferring him from Khammam to Parli in Maharastra State. In the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, it is stated that after the petitioner was appointed as Constable in the Railway Protection Force in the year 1988, he served in various places, namely, Guntakal, Renigunta, Kadapa, Kothagudem, Secunderabad and presently he is working at Khammam from 23-3-2007. It is stated that by the impugned order, he is transferred from Khammam to Parli in Maharastra State. The said order of transfer is questioned on the grounds that he has not completed six months at Khammam, his children are studying in various schools in Khammam and their education will be disturbed in the middle of the academic year by virtue of the transfer order and his old parents, who are staying with him, are suffering from blood pressure and sugar. Merely because the petitioner has not completed six moths at Khammam by itself is no ground to interdict the transfer. It is well settled that transfer is an incidence of service and unless some compelling grounds are shown, this Court is slow in interfering with transfer orders. If there is any hardship, while it is open for the petitioner to make a representation to the respondents for his retention till the end of the academic year, but, however, the same is no ground to interdict the transfer by entertaining the writ petition, which is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. In that view of the matter, I dispose of the Writ Petition permitting the petitioner to make a representation to the respondents in this regard. If such a representation is filed, it is equally open for the respondents to consider the same and pass appropriate orders and communicate the same to the petitioner. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No order as to costs. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE R.
