IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.6535 OF 2002 Union of India and others ... Petitioners Vs Smt. S.S. Kulkarni and others .. Respondents ALONGWITH WRIT PETITION NO.6113 OF 2001 Union of India and others ... Petitioners Vs Smt. Sulabha Navghare .. Respondent Mr. P.M. Pradhan for the petitioners. Mr. Saikumar Ramamurthy for the respondents. Mr. A.I. Bhatkar for the respondent in writ petition No.6113 of 2002. CORAM: SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J., & A.P. DESHPANDE , J. DATE : 8TH JULY , 2008 P.C.: The learned counsel appearing for the parties commonly state that the question of law arising in the present writ petition as to whether the Union of India/ Prasar Bharati had a right to transfer its employees or not is no more res integra and stands squarely answered by the Supreme Court in the case of Prasar Bharati and others v. Amarjeet Singh and others, (2007) 2 SCC (L&S) 566. 2. In view of the stand taken, nothing survives in this writ petition and the same is disposed of reiterating the principle of law enunciated by the Supreme Court in the case of Amarjeet Singh (supra) and the interim orders passed by the court are vacated. However, we make it further clear that as this writ petition has been pending before this court for considerably time, it would be appropriate that the petitioner may re­issue the orders of transfer wherever it is necessary and they consider it appropriate. 3. With the aforesaid observation, both the writ petitions are disposed of with no order as to costs. Consequently, the order passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal dated 5th October, 2000 is quashed and set aside. CHIEF JUSTICE A.P. DESHPANDE, J.
