MS.ANU SIVARAMAN, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.31025 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 2nd day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T Challenge in the writ petition is against Ext.P3, an order posting the petitioner from Chittoor Irrigation Division to Mangalam Dam Section. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, initially, by Ext.P1, he was transferred, and that the said order was cancelled, and by Ext.P2 order dated 06/07/2009, be was posted at Chittoor. It is stated that immediately thereafter, by Ext.P3 order dated 12/10/2009, he is again transferred to Mangalam Dam Section. It is stated that the said order is illegal. However, a reading of Ext.P3 itself shows that it was based on a vigilance investigation that the petitioner was ordered to be shifted from the present place of posting. In view of the above, I do not find any illegality in Ext.P3. Accordingly, this writ petition fails, and is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
