Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.T.LAKSHMI NARAYANA Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.A.RAJASHEKAR REDDY (ASST SOLICITOR GEN) The Court made the following : . ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner to set aside the order dated 24.12.2008 passed by the 2nd respondent – Administrative Officer, 1105 Railway Engineering Regiment (TA), Moulali Post, Hyderabad rejecting the request of the petitioner. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the Central Government and at their request the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. The case of the petitioner is that he is a Spr/Masalchi in 105 Railway Engineer Regiment (TA), Hyderabad and when he was sought to be transferred from Hyderabad to Friozpur even though he has not completed the minimum tenure period of two years, he approached this Court and filed W.P.No.25537 of 2008 and this Court vide order dated 25.11.2008 disposed of the said writ petition directing him to make a representation to the respondents within one week and the respondents were directed to dispose of the said representation within three weeks thereafter and accordingly he submitted his representation but the respondents have not passed any orders on his representation and on the other hand by orders dated 18.12.2008 he was directed to be relieved from the present unit on 30.12.2008. It is also stated that by the said orders the respondents have also intimated him that disciplinary action would be initiated against him for not forwarding his representation through chain of command. Today, when the matter is taken up, the learned standing counsel for the Central Government appearing for the respondents submits that so far as initiating the disciplinary action against the petitioner is concerned, it is a mistake as the petitioner has submitted the representation as per the directions of this Court and, therefore, that portion of the order is not going to be implemented by the respondents. Regarding the transfer of the petitioner is concerned, the learned standing counsel agreed to allow the petitioner to continue in the present place till the end of 31.1.2009 without any further extension in view of the difficulties expressed by the petitioner to leave the present station immediately now, for which the petitioner also agreed. In the circumstances, the respondents are given liberty to relieve the petitioner from the present station on 31.1.2009 without any further time. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. N.V.RAMANA,J Dt.31.12.2008 Msv.
