For the Respondent No.5 : Mr.Binod Kumar, Adv. ---------------------------------- 2 28.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the Union of India and the learned counsel for the respondent no.5 . Earlier one Mr. Ramesh Kumar was holding the post of Branch Post Master of Dariyapur Branch Office in the district of Nawada. He was transferred from that post to another place on account of order dated 20th May 2010 pursuant to which he was relieved on 9th June 2010.The petitioner holds a lower post of Extra Departmental Delivery Agent cum-Extra Departmental Mail Career in the same Post Office and he worked on the higher post under working arrangement for some time. Respondent No.5 Ravindra Prasad Singh was posted as Branch Post 2 Master of the said Branch Post Office on 26th October 2010 on account of his prayer to that effect. The petitioner challenged the transfer and posting of Ravindra Prasad Singh by filing Original Application No. 761 of 2010 before the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Branch, Patna. The same has been dismissed by the impugned order dated 7th September 2011, contained in Annexure-11. The Tribunal made an observation that the petitioner may file a representation which may be considered by the authorities in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the representation of the petitioner was considered and thereafter the order has been passed on 28th October 2011 by the Superintendent of Post Office, Nawada Division and no interference has been made with the transfer and posting of Respondent no.5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that if the petitioner was allowed to continue as officiating Branch Post Master, he would have better chance of consideration for promotion to the post. We are unable to see any legal right available with the petitioner to resist the transfer and posting of respondent no.5. The authorities 3 have the power to transfer and post respondent no.5 at the concerned Branch Post Office. In our view, the writ petition is without any merits. Hence, it is dismissed accordingly.
