THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE K.G.SHANKAR Writ Petition No.17427 of 2011 ORDER (Per Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) The petitioner, while working as Mandal Parishad Development Officer, Yacharam Mandal, Ranga Reddy, was suspended from service vide proceedings, dated 29.10.2010, of the second respondent on the allegation of irregular attendance and adverse attitude on his legitimate duties. A preliminary enquiry was conducted and the Enquiry Officer submitted his report recommending the transfer of the petitioner from the present place of working. Subsequently, on appeal filed by the petitioner against the suspension, the Government issued G.O.Rt.No.265 dated 23.02.2011 by revoking his suspension, based on which, the second respondent issued proceedings dated 22.03.2011, reinstating him into service and posting to work at Medak District. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner filed O.A.No.3411 of 2011 before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Tribunal’). Through order dated 01.06.2011, the Tribunal dismissed the said O.A. Challenging the same, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Services-II. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner was transferred from Medak to Ranga Reddy District on spouse ground in the year 2010. He contended that posting the petitioner to Medak District after reinstatement would defeat the earlier orders passed by the respondents and the Tribunal ought not to have dismissed the O.A. 4. The material on record shows that the first respondent revoked the suspension of the petitioner vide G.O.Rt.No.265 dated 23.02.2011, pending enquiry, while considering the appeal filed by the petitioner against the suspension order. The preliminary enquiry report as well as the said G.O. recommended posting the petitioner away from the Mandal where he was working and accordingly, he was posted to Medak District. Though his earlier posting to Yacharam Mandal, Ranga Reddy District was on the spouse ground, due to his adverse attitude towards his duties, he was subjected to disciplinary enquiry and consequently, he was transferred to Medak. Since the revocation of suspension of the petitioner was subject to condition that he should be posted away from the Mandal where he was working, he cannot now claim to be posted on spouse ground. As such, it can be said that there is no irregularity on the part of the respondents in transferring him to Medak District. That apart, it is well settled that unless the order of transfer is shown to be an outcome of a mala fide exercise of power or violative of any statutory provision, the same cannot be interfered with. 5. In view of the above, we do not find any infirmity in the order impugned warranting interference by this Court. 6. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to make a representation before the authority concerned ventilating his grievance. No costs. _____________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________ K.G.SHANKAR, J Date:23.06.2011. Note: Issue CC within one week. (Bo) sj
