THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 11479 of 2007 Dated: 07.06.2007 Between D.A. Rama Rao. ….. Petitioner. And The Vice Chancellor, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam and another. ….. Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 11479 of 2007 Oral order: The petitioner, who is working as Record Assistant in the respondents-University, has filed this writ petition assailing the proceedings dated 02.06.2007, issued by the respondents-University, transferring him from Visakhapatnam to Vijayawada on the ground of long standing. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-University. Admittedly, the petitioner has been working in the respondents- University since 1986, and after he worked for about 20 years in the same place i.e., at Visakhapatnam, now he was transferred from Visakhapatnam to Vijayawada by the impugned transfer orders. As the petitioner is said to be long standing employee at the present place, no exception can be taken to the action of the respondents in transferring him from Visakhapatnam to Vijayawada. The scope of interference in the orders of transfer is well settled. Transfer is an incidence of service, and is made keeping in view the administrative exigencies and needs of the organization. This Court normally does not interfere in matter of transfer, unless it is shown that the transfer has been effected mala fide or for extraneous reasons. Therefore, no interference can be made with the order impugned in this writ petition. The writ petition is devoid of merit and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________ N.V.
