According to the petitioners, the order-dated 7.8.2004 was issued transferring the petitioners and thereafter, within twenty days, the second order-dated 27.8.2004 was passed modifying the transfer order. It is not the case of the petitioners that the order dated 7.8.2004 was given effect to. Before it was given effect to, the second order dated 27.8.2004 in respect of the petitioners was modified and issued. Generally speaking, in transfer orders, this court will not interfere unless the jurisdiction of the authority is under challenge or some malafide is attributed or some illegality on the face of the record is shown. None of these grounds have been urged before this court except stating that before the first order could be implemented, the second order was passed on the influence of some third parties. Even before implementing the first order, the second order was issued. The petitioners cannot claim anything under the first order. The second order of transfer cannot be said to be illegal or arbitrary. No ground is made out to interfere with the order of transfer. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. __________________ C.V. RAMULU,J Dated: 03.12.2004 Ka To 1.
