The operative portion of the said judgment reads as follows: “ Transfer, as has been repeatedly held, is an incident of service and it is not for this Court to issue a mandamus to the authorities concerned to transfer their employees to a particular place, and not to another. These are all matters for the competent authorities to consider, and not for Courts/Tribunals to direct. Any grievance in this regard can only be addressed by the competent authority concerned. Miss. A.Deepthi, learned counsel for the petitioners, would submit that the petitioners shall make a representation within two weeks from today. In case such a representation is filed, the respondents shall consider and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of such representation. The interim order granted by us earlier stands vacated and the writ petition disposed of. However, in the circumstances without costs.” In the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction similar to the one extracted above. ---------------------- J.Chelameswar, J ------------------------ P.Swaroop Reddy, J mrk 12th February 2007
