THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 16000 of 2006 Dated: 15.03.2007 Between: Md. Saqlain. ..... PETITIONER AND The Principal General Manager, Telecom, A.P. Circle, A.P. Circle, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), Door Sanchar Bhavan, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 16000 of 2006 Order: None appeared for the petitioner. Heard the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-Organisation. The petitioner, who is working as Telecom Mechanic in the respondents-Organisation, has filed this writ petition assailing the proceedings, dated 13.07.2006, passed by the 2nd respondent-General Manager, transferring him from Sangareddy to Regode on the ground that he has not rendered two years of service in rural area. Transfer is an incidence of service, and is made keeping in view the administrative exigencies and needs of the organization. It is not a punishment. This Court normally does not interfere in matter of transfer, unless it is shown that the transfer has been made on mala fide grounds or for extraneous reasons. Be that as it may, since the representation of the petitioner dated 21.07.2006, seeking cancellation of his transfer orders, is said to be pending consideration before the respondents, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The respondents are directed to consider the representation, dated 21.07.2006, of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 15.03.2007 Nsr
