Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.A.SURYANARAYANA MURTHY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR SERVICES II The Court made the following: ORDER: (Per JC,J) Aggrieved by an order in O.A.No.2151 of 2005, dated 11.05.2005, the unsuccessful petitioner therein preferred the present writ petition. The writ petitioner challenged an order, dated 19.04.2005, of the first respondent, by which the petitioner was transferred and posted in the office of the Commercial Tax Officer, Adilabad. According to the petitioner, the first respondent does not have the jurisdiction to pass such an order of transfer. Except making an assertion that the first respondent lacks the jurisdiction, nothing is brought to our notice as to how the first respondent lacks jurisdiction. It is the case of the petitioner that he is governed by the A.P.Ministerial Service Rules, 1998. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the appointing authority for the post in which the petitioner is working is the Regional Officer concerned as provided under Rule 4 of the said Rules. The question is, who is the Regional Officer? The assertion of the petitioner is that the Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Adilabad is the Regional Officer concerned, whereas, according to the Government Pleader, the Deputy Commissioner of Commercial Taxes, Warangal is the Regional Officer concerned. Learned counsel for the petitioner did not bring anything to our notice to establish as to who is the Regional Officer concerned. In the absence of any such material, we do not see any reason to interfere with the order of the Tribunal. The writ petition is dismissed at the admission stage without any order as to costs. ______________________ J.CHELAMESWAR, J.
