THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.19744 of 2007 DATE: 09.10.2007 Between: J. Janardhan … PETITIONER AND The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd., Rep., by its General Manager (Personnel), Kothagudem, Khammam District & others. … RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.19744 of 2007 ORDER:- The petitioner, who is working as Ward Boy in the respondents- company, has filed this writ petition assailing the proceedings dated 11.07.2007, passed by the 2nd respondent – Additional General Manager, transferring him from Area Hospital, Bellampally to Area Hospital, Ramagundam-I. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material available on record. The grievance of the petitioner is that his mother and wife are cardiac patients and they need regular check up and his children are studying at Bellampally therefore it is not proper for the respondents to transfer him in the middle of the year. Transfer is an incidence of service, and is made keeping in view the administrative exigencies and needs of the company. It is not a punishment. This Court normally does not interfere in matter of transfer, unless it is shown that the transfer has been made on mala fide grounds or for extraneous reasons. Be that as it may, if the petitioner has any grievance about his transfer, he is at liberty to make a representation to the 1st respondent and if any such representation is made, the 1st respondent shall consider the said representation taking into consideration all the difficulties expressed by the petitioner and dispose of the same by passing appropriate orders expeditiously. With the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 09.10.2007 Note:- Issue CC in two days. B/o. ES
