W.P.No.7237 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.7237 OF 2008 Kamlakar s/o Laxmanrao Deshpande ..Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra and ors. ..Respondents Mr S.B.Bhapkar,Advocate for petitioner Mr K.B.Choudhari, A.G.P. for respondents 1 to 3 CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATE : 5th May 2011 PER COURT 1. The petition has been preferred against the order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal. The petitioner had challenged his transfer from Purna to Nanded, which had been effected by order dated 14.5.2008. 2. Under normal circumstances, the petitioner would have continued in Nanded for a period of three years after 2008 due to the order of transfer. This period of three years would be completed on 13.5.2011. 3. There is no dispute that while the matter was pending before the Administrative Tribunal, interim relief was granted in favour of the petitioner staying his order of transfer. After the Administrative Tribunal dismissed his application, this Court in the present petition continued the W.P.No.7237 of 2008 2 interim relief granted earlier by its order dated 10.12.2008. That interim relief has continued till today. Thus, the petitioner has continued in Purna for approximately three years. 4. In our view, there is no need to entertain this petition since the normal period of transfer would be completed on 13.5.2011. 5. Mr Choudhari, the learned Assistant Govt.Pleader points out that the interim relief granted to the petitioner has made it impossible for the respondents to transfer him. He points out that several complaints have been received by the respondents with respect to conduct of the petitioner. Without going into this fact, in our opinion, the petition can be disposed of by directing the respondents to continue him in Purna till the next general order of transfer. 6. With these directions petition disposed of. ( M.T. JOSHI, J. ) ( SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. ) (vvr/7237.08wp)
