Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.P.VENKATA RAO Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.T.S.PRAVEEN KUMAR The Court made the following : HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.15294 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner herein is working as Assistant Grade-II at Chittoor in A.P.State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited. Admittedly, she has completed more than 5 years at Chittoor. By order dated 15.07.2009 passed by the first respondent, the petitioner herein was transferred from Chittoor to Kadapa. The said order has been challenged in this writ petition contending that the impugned transfer was contrary to the guidelines issued under G.O.Ms.No.169 dated 17.06.2009 inasmuch as she was not called for counseling and no opportunity was afforded to her to give the three preferences as provided under condition (iv) of the guidelines. It is also contended that as the husband of the petitioner has been working as Secondary Grade Teacher at Chittoor, as per condition No.(vii) of the guidelines, she should not be disturbed from Chittoor. These are all the aspects, which require consideration by the first respondent and therefore, the petitioner ought to have made an appropriate representation ventilating her grievances before the first respondent before approaching this Court. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion as to the tenability of the claim made by the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to make an appropriate representation raising all her objections against the transfer under the impugned proceedings before the first respondent on or before 28.08.2009. If any such representation is made within the time fixed above, the first respondent shall consider the same in terms of the guidelines made under G.O.Ms.No.169 dated 17.06.2009 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, the petitioner shall not be relieved from Chittoor. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI,J Date: 18-08-2009 Note: Issue C.C. in 2 days. B/o KLP
