THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition Nos. 11296 of 2007 Order: The petitioner, who is working as Driver in APSRTC in their Ananthapur Depot, has been transferred to Thadipatri Depot in the general transfers on the ground of longstanding. The petitioner states that his son is mentally retarded and suffers from epilepsy and his age- old mother also suffers from cardiac problems. He, therefore, made a representation to the respondents on 26.02.2007 requesting them to retain him at Ananthapur, but till date, no action thereon has been taken. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-APSRTC. Transfer is an incidence of service and is made on administrative grounds. This Court normally does not interfere in matters of transfer unless it is shown that the transfer order is fraught with mala fides and has been made for extraneous reasons. However, having regard to the health problems being faced by the kith and kin of the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions; The petitioner is directed to make appropriate representation seeking his retention at Ananthapur to the 3rd respondent, and if any such representation is made, the 3rd respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ N.V.RAMANA, J. Date: 05th June 2007 Ksr/sj THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition Nos. DATED: 05th June 2007
