THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12785 of 2006 Date: 26.06.2006 Between: Shaik Babu John, S/o.Rahamatullah Occ:NMR watchman, A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited, Kandukur, Prakasam district. Petitioner and The District Manager, A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited, Ongole, Prakasam district and three others. Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12785 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner, who is working as a NMR Watchman, filed this writ petition questioning the transfer order, dated 10.06.2006, passed by the first respondent–the District Manager, A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited, Ongole, transferring his services from Kandukur to Ongole. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the transfer was made at the request of the fourth respondent and that the petitioner is working at Kandukur only from the last one year. There is absolutely no basis in the submission of the learned counsel that the impugned order of transfer was passed only at the instance of the fourth respondent. Though it is further submitted that the petitioner has been working in Kandukur Godown only from last one year, but having regard to the administrative exigencies and convenience, the employee need not be necessarily continue for a minimum period of three years, and having regard to the requirement of manpower in a particular station, it is always open for the first respondent to effect transfers. In that view of the matter, I do not find any ground to interfere with the impugned order. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ R.
