HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16019 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner is working as Customer Relation Associate in the State Bank of India, 1st respondent herein, since March 2008. He has been posted in the M.V.P. Colony Branch of the Bank in Visakhapatnam. Through order dated 09-06-2010, he was transferred to the Branch at Rajam of Vizianagaram District. Petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. 2. Petitioner contends that he is pursuing part-time Post Graduate Degree at Visakhapatnam and it would be difficult for him to continue the same, in case he transferred to Rajam. It is also urged that his stay at Visakhpatnam is hardly of two years and the transfer is contrary to the policy evolved by the respondents. 3. Respondents filed counter-affidavit stating that the transfer of the petitioner is purely on administrative grounds and no exception can be taken. 4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 5. The 2nd respondent ordered transfer of the petitioner purely on administrative grounds. Obviously, his services are needed in the Branch at Rajam. The plea of the petitioner that he is pursuing a part- time course at Visakhapatnam hardly becomes relevant in this context. Petitioner is required to bestow his attention in improving the business of the petitioner. So far as the transfer policy is concerned, there is nothing to indicate that an employee is entitled to remain at a station for a particular period. 6. This Court does not find any basis to interfere with the order of transfer. However, the petitioner can make a representation to the respondents ventilating his grievance, only after his joining at Rajam Branch. 7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of upholding the order of transfer, but leaving it open to the petitioner to make a representation to the respondents ventilating his grievance. Respondents shall consider the same, only after the petitioner joins at Rajam Branch. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J September 24, 2010. KTL
