Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner was transferred to Paderu, on an earlier occasion, vide orders, dated 09.05.2007. He did not join there, and in fact, disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him, on account of that. He was required to report duty in the Head Office. Through the impugned order, virtually, the respondents have reiterated their earlier orders, dated 09.05.2007. The petitioner is not able to point any serious, or factual infirmity, in the impugned order. Though it is pleaded that he has been attacked by Nexalites at Warangal, in the year 1984, the petitioner never worked at Paderu Division. It is stated that it has become almost incumbent for every employee to work at Coffee Division, Paderu, at least for one year, and that the petitioner has not served in such division, at any point of time. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant any relief to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. It is however directed that it shall be open to the petitioner to make a representation, about his difficulties in continuing at Paderu, only after joining that place and working for some time. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ Dt.20.08.2008 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 17044 of 2008 Date: 20.08.2008 JSU
