IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE NINTH DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT APPEAL No.19 OF 2007 Between: V.Narasingam Reddy ..... APPELLANT AND Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, L.B.Stadium, Hyderabad, and others. ....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT APPEAL No.19 OF 2007 O R D E R (Per Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) Aggrieved by an order of the learned single Judge dated 29th December, 2006 in WVMP No.2316 of 2006 in W.P.No.21962 of 2006, the respondent-writ petitioner preferred the present writ appeal. By the order under appeal, the interim order granted in favour of the appellant herein on 13.11.2006 came to be vacated. The issue in the writ petition is whether the transfer of the appellant is legal or not. The fact remains that the appellant has already been relieved and taken charge at the new place of posting. The question whether the impugned order of transfer casts any stigma, and if so, what are the legal consequences, are required to be examined as rightly observed by the learned single Judge, since the appellant has already been relieved and taken charge at the new place of posting. We do not see any reason to interfere with the order under appeal, and accordingly, the writ appeal is dismissed. However, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the appellant is left with less than one year of service. In the circumstances, we deem it appropriate that the main writ petition itself be heard at an early date. Office is directed to list the writ petition for final hearing before the appropriate court in the FIRST WEEK OF APRIL, 2007 after obtaining necessary orders from the Honourable the Chief Justice. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR -------------------------------------- JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY 9TH MARCH, 2007 PGS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT APPEAL No.19 OF 2007 (Per Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) 9th MARCH, 2007
