1 ASWP-6119-2011 srk IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.6119 OF 2011 Ansari Mukhtar Ahmed Abdul Gani ...Petitioner Versus The Deputy Director General of BSNL and ors. ...Respondents Mr.F.A.Ansari for petitioner. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, JJ. August 20, 2011. P.C. 1. Heard Mr.Ansari, the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner was served with the transfer order dated 20/4/2011 and he challenged the same before the Central Administrative Tribunal in 2 ASWP-6119-2011 O.A. No.394 of 2011. The learned Member of the Tribunal after hearing both the parties, was pleased to dismiss the said O.A. by his order dated 23/6/2011. 3. Mr.Ansari submitted that the petitioner has put in more than 30 years of service and his wife works at Malegaon as a teacher in one of the schools run by the Municipal Corporation. It was also submitted that he was working continuously at Malegaon and at an advanced age he has been sent out of Malegaon. Admittedly the petitioner was working at Malegaon within Nashik District and by the impugned order dated 20/4/2011 he has been transferred to another town called Kalwan which is also in the very same district. The distance between two towns i.e. Malegaon and Kalwan is less than 60 Kms. The petitioner’s tenure at Malegaon has been for more than three years. 4. The additional ground for challenging the transfer order was by referring to the case of Shri P.W. More and it was submitted that his representation dated 26/3/2011 was accepted but the petitioner was moved out. It appears that Shri More’s representation was allowed on medical grounds. The view taken by the Tribunal in declining to interfere 3 ASWP-6119-2011 with the transfer order cannot be faulted with and in any case the petitioner has been retained in the very same district. 5. Hence the petition is rejected. (SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
