The State of Maharashtra and ors. .. Respondents Mr. A.Y. Sakhare, Senior Counsel with Mr. Vishwajit Mohite and Mr. Siddharth Karpe for petitioner. Mr. C. R. Sonawane, AGP for respondent no.3. Mr. Amit Borkar for respondent no.4. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & SMT. NISHITA MHATRE JJ. SEPTEMBER 12, 2011. P.C. 1. Heard Mr. Sakhare, the learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner. 2. This petition arises from the order passed by the 2 aswp-5446-10 Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal in O.A. No. 59 of 2010 on 8/6/2010 filed by the petitioner and the O.A. came to be dismissed. 3. The petitioner was holding the post of Sub Divisional Officer, Gadhinglaj and was transferred as per the order dated 22/1/2010 as Deputy Collector (Revenue), Kolhapur. The impugned order was challenged on two grounds, namely, (a) it was a mid-term transfer and (b) there was no proposal by the transferring authority and in addition, there was no prior approval by the next higher authority. The Tribunal heard both the parties and noted that the impugned order dated 22/1/2010 was passed strictly in compliance with the order dated 11/8/2009 in O.A. No. 202 of 2009. It was also noted that the order dated 11/8/2009 passed in O.A. No. 202 of 2009 was challenged in this court in Writ Petition No. 9665 of 2009 and the same was dismissed on 23/11/2009. The transfer order also stated that it was in pursuance of the order passed in O.A. No. 202 of 2009. 4. As the impugned transfer order was made in compliance with the order passed in O.A. No. 202 of 2009, there was no reason to interfere with the same. Admittedly, the petitioner has reported as 3 aswp-5446-10 Deputy Collector (Revenue) Kolhapur and we do not find any reason to hold that the Tribunal has committed an error apparent on the face of the record so as to cause interference. 5. Hence, the petition is rejected summarily. (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
