1 WP8615.11 Bsb IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 8615 OF 2011 Shri Fattesinh Nanasaheb Patil ... Petitioner v/s The State of Maharashtra & ors. ... Respondents Mr.N.V.Bandiwadekar for the petitioner. Ms.S.S.Bhende, A.G.P. for Resp. Nos.1 to 4. Mr.M.D.Lonkar with Miss S.P.Manchekar for Resp.No.5. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, JJ. DATED: 19TH OCTOBER, 2011 P.C.: 1. We have heard Mr.Bandiwadekar, the learned counsel for the petitioner. We have perused the impugned ad-interim order passed by the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal in Original Application No.846 of 2011. The said Original Application was filed by the present respondent No.5 challenging the midterm transfer order dated 11.10.2011 which transferred him from Thane Rural to Mira Road Police 2 WP8615.11 Station and consequently the petitioner was transferred on the same day in place of the original applicant. 2. This Court, time and again, pointed out the meaning of “transfer” and the need for the State Government to amend the Transfer Act as early as possible. We are sure, all these issues will be considered by the Tribunal while finally deciding the Original Application No.846 of 2011 in which notice has been made returnable on 9.11.2011. For the time being, we do not see any reason to interfere in the interim order impugned in this petition. 3. The petition is dismissed. 4. We also make it clear that the reasons set out in the present order are prima facie. (SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE, J.) 3 WP8615.11
