THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12247 of 2010 Date: 02.06.2010 Between : Kolli Rajendra Reddy … Petitioner And The Principal Secretary to Government of A.P., Department of Youth Services and Sports, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12247 of 2010 ORDER: Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as Sri M.V.S. Prasad, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh. 2. In this writ petition the petitioner has questioned the validity of the proceedings No.SAAP/A2/375/2010, dated 25.03.2010, issued by the 2nd respondent transferring him from Nellore to Adilabad. 3. The petitioner is working as a Volley Ball coach in Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh. By the impugned order, he is transferred from District Sports Authority, Nellore, to the District Sports Authority, Adilabad. It is the grievance of the petitioner that earlier while working at Adilabad, due to family problems, at his request he was transferred and posted as Volley Ball coach at the District Sports Authority, Nellore just nine months back. Since the petitioner was transferred at his request, he was not paid the transfer allowance also and by incurring his own expenditure, he has shifted his family to Nellore. 4. It is argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has already joined his children in the schools at Nellore and transferring him in the middle of the academic year would affect the career of his children, who are prosecuting their studies. He also submits that since the petitioner was transferred at his request nine months back only, there is no reason in transferring him again. It is further submitted that there are several juniors to the petitioner, who can be posted at Adilabad, but not the petitioner. 5. I have perused the impugned proceedings dated 25.3.2010. 6. The petitioner is transferred while implementing the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Panchayat Yuva Krida Aur Khel Ahiyan (PYKKA). Though the petitioner was transferred at his request and posted at Nellore just nine months back, the impugned order is issued while implementing the scheme transferring the petitioner along with 22 other coachers, which is an administrative decision taken by the authorities. Therefore, both the grounds urged by the petitioner that he was transferred from Adilabad to Nellore just nine months back and further some of the juniors to him are also there who can be transferred are not good grounds to interfere with the impugned order in exercise of the powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 7. Further, it is brought to the notice of this Court that after receipt of the transfer order, the petitioner has submitted a representation dated 28.3.2010 to the Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh, requesting for his retention at Nellore. A perusal of the said representation also reveals that earlier he served at Adilabad and at his request he was transferred from Adilabad to Nellore. 8. In view of the pendency of the said representation, without interfering with the impugned order of transfer, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 2nd respondent-Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, to consider the representation dated 28.3.2010 of the petitioner keeping in mind his past service at Adilabad and also his request transfer to Nellore and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 9. Subject to above directions, the writ petition is disposed of, at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________________ JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY 02.06.2010.
