THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26580 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Head Constable in the C.R.P.F. and at present, he is in the Group Centre, Chandrayangutta. Through order, dated 16.09.2011, the Inspector General of Police (C.R.P.F.), Southern Sector, the 1st respondent herein, effected transfer of 58 Head Constables working in various places within his jurisdiction. The petitioner was transferred to a battalion at Srinagar. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Sri P.S.P.Suresh Kumar, places reliance upon Standing Order No.2 of 2011 dated 12.05.2011, issued by the Director General of C.R.P.F. He submits that the transfers are permissible, only in the months of April and May and the present transfer was affected in the month of September. He further submits that the petitioner suffered two successive bereavements in the family and he cannot be shifted at this stage. Sri P.Ashok Goud, learned Assistant Solicitor General, on the other hand, submits that the transfers were affected, on account of impending necessity at the respective places and it is always competent for the authority to effect transfers. The Standing Order No.2 of 2011, no doubt, stipulates a schedule for transfers. That, however, is in the case of ordinary routine transfers. In clause 3(e) the power of the competent authority to transfer at any time, depending on the necessity, is retained. It is not a case where the petitioner was isolated and transferred to a place by way of punishment. Fairly large-scale transfer of Head Constables has been ordered and no exception can be taken to the same. This Court is not inclined to interfere with the order of transfer. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. However, taking into account the two successive bereavements suffered by the petitioner in his family, two weeks time from today is granted to him to report duty, at the place to which he was transferred. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:21.09.2011 Note: Furnish C.C. in three days. (B/o) GJ
