IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE FOURTH DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY and THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION NO :2115 of 2010 Between: N.Mahadev ..... PETITIONER AND The District & Sessions Judge, Adilabad District, Adilabad. .....RESPONDENT The Court made the following : HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A. GOPAL REDDY AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No. 2115 OF 2010 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A. Gopal Reddy) By proceedings of the respondent bearing Dis. No.311/2010, dated 20.1.2010, the petitioner, who is working as Superintendent was transferred from the Court of I Additional District and Sessions Judge, Adilabad and posted to the Court of Junior Civil Judge, Asifabad. Questioning the said transfer, the present writ petition is filed contending that the petitioner’s wife is undergoing treatment at Srinivasa Nursing Home, Adilabad, and therefore, he should be retained at Adilabad station itself as no better medical facilities are available at Asifabad. He further alleged that one Syed Hatham, Superintendent in the Court of District & Sessions Judge has been working as such for the last five years at Adilabad; one Subhash, Superintendent of the same Court is also working for the last four years; and one Ch.Rajeswar, Superintendent is also working in the same Court as such for more than five years, and whereas, the petitioner who has completed only four years at Adilabad Station is alone singled out and has been transferred to Asifabad, which amounts to discrimination. If the petitioner is aggrieved by his transfer made by the respondent on administrative grounds, he can make a representation either to the respondent or to the Registry of this Court ventilating his grievance. Inasmuch as the order of transfer is on administrative grounds, the same cannot be interfered by this Court sitting under Article 226 of Constitution of India on the ground of discrimination as alleged by the petitioner. In the circumstances, we are not inclined to entertain the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the threshold. However, petitioner is at liberty to file a representation to the respondent bringing about his grievance. No order as to costs. _________________ (A.
