THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION No.16651 OF 2011 ORDER: The present writ petition is filed questioning the proceedings dated 14.06.2011 issued by the second respondent transferring the petitioner to Ongole and to direct the respondents to continue the petitioner as Executive Engineer (Incharge) in A.P. Education and Welfare Infrastructure Development Corporation, Ranga Reddy Division, Hyderabad. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the transfer of the petitioner was made only to accommodate the third respondent and, therefore, the same needs to be set aside. Learned counsel for the second respondent contended that there are no grounds to interfere with the transfer order in view of the fact that the transfer of the petitioner is effected purely on administrative grounds. Though several contentions are raised in the writ petition stating that the petitioner was transferred to APEWIDC Prakasam Division at Ongole only to accommodate the third respondent but at the same time from a perusal of the order of transfer it is clear that the transfer was made only on administrative grounds. There cannot be any dispute that transfer of an employee is one of the incidents of service. The employee is liable to be transferred to any place. Unless the transfer is vitiated by mala fides or contrary to the rules or the person who passed the order of transfer has no jurisdiction, ordinarily, Courts would not interfere with the same. No where it is stated that the action of the second respondent is contrary to law, rules or regulations. The case of the petitioner does not fall in any one of the categories mentioned above. It is for the second respondent to transfer the employees to the places wherever required for the smooth running of the administration and in the present case, since the transfer is made on administrative grounds, interference with the impugned order does not arise. The writ petition is devoid of merits and it is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. K.C. BHANU,J Dt. 16.06.2011 lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.
