Beverages Corporation Limited. Through the order, dated 04.07.2008, he is transferred to the unit at Nalgonda. The petitioner states that his children are studying in the educational institutions at Warangal, so much so, their fees were paid for the current academic year. It is stated that transfer to a different place at this stage would result in serious hardship and financial difficulty and he assails the order of transfer. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. It may be true that the transfer of employees in Government and other allied organizations are affected in the months of April and May, so that necessary arrangements for education of their children are made. At the same time, it cannot be said that there was any patent illegality on the part of the respondents in affecting transfer in the first week of July, 2008. Though the petitioner may be subjected to certain hardship, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the order of transfer, since it is not pointed out that there is any patent illegality. The petitioner can certainly make a representation to the respondents by stating necessary facts, after joining the duty at the new station. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to make a representation to the respondents narrating his grievance, but only after joining the place to which he is transferred. The respondents shall consider the representation made by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of the same. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 14.07.2008. kdl ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{BMR}
