HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO. 774 OF 2011 Between: P. Govindam S/o Bangarayya ………….Appellant AND The Eastern Power Distribution Company of A.P. represented by its Chairman and Managing Director, Corporate Office, Visakhapatnam and ten others ………….Respondents JUDGMENT: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This Writ Appeal has been filed aggrieved by the order dated 07.09.2011 passed in W.P.No. 25077 of 2011 by the learned single Judge of this Court, whereby a learned single Judge dismissed the Writ Petition directing the petitioner therein to report to duty at the place, to which he is transferred, within 15 days. Brief facts of the case are that the appellant is working as a Lower Divisional Clerk in the Office of ERO, Anakapally, first respondent herein viz., Eastern Power Distribution Company Limited, for the past seven years. The second respondent – Superintending Engineer (Operations) vide orders dated 7.6.2011 effected transfer of as many as 31 employees and the appellant was transferred to the office of ERO, Narsipatnam. Aggrieved by the same, the appellant filed Writ Petition No. 16325 of 2011 and the same was disposed of on 15.6.2011 directing the 2nd respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation dated 28.5.2011 submitted by the appellant. But the second respondent passed an order dated 20.7.2011 asking the appellant to report to the station, to which he was transferred. Aggrieved by the same, he filed Writ Petition No. 25077 of 2011 and the same was also dismissed. Hence, the appellant preferred the present Writ Appeal. The learned counsel appearing for the appellant submits that the second respondent without following the guidelines, passed orders dated 7.6.2011 transferring the appellant to the office of ERO, Narsipatnam. Heard the learned counsel appearing for appellant and also perused the material made available on record. It is on record that after completion of seven years the appellant was transferred to the Office of ERO, Narsipatnam. Transfer is an incidence of service. No employee has a right to insist that he must be posted to a particular place. This Court cannot interfere with the transfer order unless it is shown that such transfer order is issued with a malafide intention. No such grounds are pleaded much less established. Therefore, the learned single Judge rightly dismissed the Writ Petition filed by the appellant. Hence, we see no reasons to interfere with the order passed and the Writ Appeal is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J DATE: 28.09.2011 KA ...
