COPY OF THE ORDER OF R1 DTD.15.6.2011 sdk+ ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 16914 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Head Constable working in the office of the Northern Range Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau. The petitioner's parent Department is the local police. While working there, along with 20 others, he was transferred and posted to Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau, by Ext.P1 order of the City Commissioner of Police, Kozhikode. The petitioner has completed 10 months in that assignment. Now, by Ext.P2, the petitioner, along with 165 other similarly placed, has been repatriated to their parent Department. The petitioner is challenging the same. According to the petitioner, this amounts to transfer and the petitioner has completed only 10 months in the present station. The petitioner has a further contention that before issuing Ext.P2, there was no enquiry in the matter. I am of opinion that it is a policy decision of the Government to repatriate police constables working in the Vigilance & Anti Corruption Bureau borrowed from other units. Insofar as the petitioner does not allege any mala fides in the action, I do not think that I can interfere with the same. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed.
