THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.18171 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Section Supervisor in the oﬃce of the General Manager, Telecom District, Mahaboobnagar. Through proceedings dated 13-08-2008, the 1st respondent transferred the petitioner to Jadcherla. She challenges the same, on the ground that the order of transfer is contrary to the Transfer Policy adopted by the BSNL. Reliance is placed upon Clause 13(iv) of Section-D, of the Transfer Policy, which suggests that, posting of unwilling women employees to tenure stations shall be avoided. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It is not in dispute that the petitioner is working at the same station for the past two-and-half decades. She was transferred on administrative grounds. Learned counsel for the respondents has placed before this Court, the relevant ﬁle. Adequate reasons are mentioned, justifying the transfer. So far as the Clause, relied upon by the petitioner, is concerned, it needs to be observed that, it is in relation to tenure stations. By their very nature, tenure stations are those, which are in remote areas, and employees are placed under obligation, to serve at those stations, for a particular length of time. Jadcherla is not identiﬁed as a tenure station. For all practical purposes, Jadcharla is nothing, but extension of Mahaboobnagar town. At any rate, the Transfer Policy cannot be construed in such a way, that the petitioner can be continued in the same station, even after two-and-half decades. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt:26-08-2008. KO
