THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 12140 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner is employed as Sub-Inspector (Executive) in the CISF. At present, he is posted at Visakhapatnam Port Trust. The respondents have undertaken transfer of their employees to various places. The petitioner gave his willingness to be transferred to RTC, Arakkonam. Accordingly, through an order, dated 1.10.2007, he was transferred to that place. On receiving the same, the petitioner made a representation, stating that his mother is undergoing treatment and that his transfer may be deferred by one year. The respondents did not insist on the movement of the petitioner to Arakkonam, pending consideration of the representation. On 4.6.2008, an Office Memorandum was issued, posting the petitioner to the same place, i.e. R.T.C., Arakkonam. The petitioner challenges the same, on the ground of hardship. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. For all practical purposes, the respondents have accommodated the petitioner for about 8 months. Though he was transferred on 1.10.2007, he was not shifted, pending consideration of his representation. Even the certificate issued by the Doctor of the Port Trust on 6.6.2008, discloses that the mother of the petitioner needs rest for one month. Though it hardly constitutes any ground to defer transfer, this court is of the view that ends of justice would be met, if the shifting of the petitioner to the transferred place is deferred, till the end of July 2008. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of, upholding the order of transfer, dated 4.6.2008, but directing that the petitioner shall be entitled to join at the new station, on or before 31st July 2008. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ 13th June 2008 Note: Issue operative portion by wire. (B/0) PAN
