Order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal in Original Application No.626 of 2006 on 12.1.2007 is under challenge. The discussion in the judgment and the evidence produced also shows that the present petitioner was transferred from Pune to Raigad only because there was a letter issued by Minister Shri.Ajit Pawar. So also, there is also recommendation by Shri. Sunil Tatkare. Both these letters have been looked into by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal and thereafter, the said Tribunal has concluded that the transfer was not effected on administrative ground but it was effected to favour the petitioner on the recommendation of the Ministers. The Tribunal has also :2: concluded that the transfer has not effected in public interest. We do not find any error committed by the Tribunal in coming to the said conclusion after having seen the letters of the concerned Ministers. We therefore, refrain to entertain the petition. Petition is accordingly, rejected. 3. Ad interim relief which was granted by this court on 24.1.2007 is hereby vacated. (R.S. MOHITE, J.) (S.B. MHASE, J.)
