HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY AND HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE B.CHANDRA KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.11781 of 2010 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Mr.Justice B.Seshasayana Reddy) This writ petition has been filed assailing the order dated 26/04/2010 passed in O.A.No.225 of 2010 on the file of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad Bench at Hyderabad, whereby and whereunder the learned Tribunal refused to extend the interim order. The petitioner is an Accounts Officer and he has been transferred to SRDEN Office, Nanded Division, along with post on administrative grounds vide order No.CP/121/P.10/Engg/Minist./Pet.Transfer dated 04/03/2010. The petitioner assailed the transfer order by filing OA before the Central Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad Bench at Hyderabad. The learned Tribunal initially granted interim order. Thereafter, the respondent entered appearance and filed counter resisting the application. The learned Tribunal, after hearing the learned counsel appearing for the parties, came to the conclusion that the petitioner failed to make out any prima-facie case and thereby refused to extend the interim order. Hence, this writ petition. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was not put on notice before transfer is affected. The petitioner failed to make out that the authority which effected his transfer is not the competent authority or the transfer is mala fide. It is well settled that transfer order can be interfered if it is shown that it is mala fide, or contrary to service rules or authority is not competent to pass order. It is also well settled that ‘transfer is incidence of service’. The learned Tribunal, by giving cogent and convincing reasons, refused to extend the interim order. We do not see any valid ground to interfere with the order of the learned Tribunal. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J ____________________ B.CHANDRA KUMAR, J Date: 19th May, 2010 SKM/CS
