THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU W.P.No.15834 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed to declare the Office Order Ref.No.SCES/SEC/103/2011/807 dated 11.05.2011 issued by the fourth respondent to the extent of transferring the petitioner from Singareni Collieries High School, Bhupalapalli, Warangal District to Singareni Collieries High School, Goleti, Adilabad District as illegal and arbitrary and consequently to direct respondents 3 to 5 to retain the petitioner as regular Head Master of Singareni Collieries High School, Bhupalapalli, Warangal District. Heard both sides. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that as per the guidelines issued by the Singareni Collieries and the rules framed by the Government, the employees who are going to retire within two years as on the date of transfer shall not be transferred unless they request for such transfer. Therefore, the impugned order is liable to be set aside. There cannot be any dispute that transfer of an employee is an incidence of service. The employee is liable to be transferred to any place. Unless the transfer order is vitiated by mala fides or contrary to the rules or the person who passed the order of transfer has no jurisdiction, ordinarily, Courts would not interfere with the same. No mala fides are attributed against the person who passed the impugned order. The case of the petitioner does not fall under any one of the above three categories. The only ground on which the writ petition is filed is that the petitioner has got two years of service and therefore, he cannot be transferred. But, as seen from the impugned order it is clear that he was given promotion and therefore, he was transferred to the present post. When the petitioner was transferred on promotion, the same cannot be challenged. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merits. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs.
