Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.P.R.PRASAD Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR ENDOWMENTS The Court made the following : W.P.No.15537 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the Proceedings of the 1st respondent in D.Dis.No.D1/25698/2005, dated 14-6-2005 in transferring the petitioner from Chavali Group Temples to Dachepalli Group Temples, Guntur District as arbitrary and illegal. At the time of admission of the Writ Petition, no interim order was made. Now, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since June,2005 the petitioner is on leave, as he is undergoing treatment being a heart patient. Respondents filed a counter stating that the petitioner is squatting over at Chavali Group Temples for the last more than 15 years. Under those circumstances, there arose a necessity to shift the petitioner from Chavali Group Temples to Dachepalli Group Temples. Therefore, no illegality has been committed by the 1st respondent in passing the impugned Order. Whereas, learned counsel for the petitioner states that, may be, there is no illegality committed by the respondents, but the respondents have not taken into consideration the plea of the petitioner that he is a heart patient and shifting him from Chavali Group Temples would cause irreparable loss. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner is directed to make a detailed representation to the 2nd respondent- Regional Joint Commissioner, Multi Zone-II, Tirupathi ventilating his grievance as to his health condition etc., seeking to retain him at Chavali Group Temples. On filing such representation, the 2nd respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders, on humanitarian grounds and may also consider for posting him in the very same group of temples i.e. Chavali Group Temples or in any temple nearer to Vemuru and pass appropriate orders, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of representation from the petitioner. With the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. 04-4-2008 prk
