RAMANA Writ Petition No.13517 of 2006 Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-APSRTC. The petitioner, who is working as Conductor with the respondents-APSRTC, has filed this writ petition assailing the proceedings dated 27.06.2006, passed by the 3rd respondent, namely Depot Manager, transferring him from Hyderabad-I Depot to Thandur Depot on the ground of long standing. Transfer is an incidence of service, and is made keeping in view the administrative exigencies and needs of the organization. It is not a punishment. This Court normally does not interfere in matter of transfer, unless it is shown that the transfer has been made on mala fide grounds or for extraneous reasons. Be that as it may, if the petitioner is aggrieved by the impugned transfer orders, he is at liberty to make appropriate representation seeking his retention at the present place, and if any such representation is made, it is open for the respondents to consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law. With the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 04.07.2006 Nsr/Ksr
