ADV.

He is aggrieved by his posting as per Ext.P3 order to its Stores Department. His contention is that he is not having any previous experience in store handling and, therefore, his posting will adversely affect the smooth running of the company. There is no existing equivalent post in the Stores Department and that the interdepartmental transfer would amount to demotion, were the other contentions raised to assail the said order. 2. The respondents have filed a statement in this writ petition. It is categorically stated therein that the Telex System was abolished in the Company and consequent to the same, the posts connected with the Telex System have become redundant posts and accordingly the employees posted in those posts were deployed to other jobs. It was the said circumstance that necessitated the posting of the petitioner to the Stores Department WPC.8875/2010 : 2 : as per Ext.P3 order. It is also specifically stated therein that the pay as also the grade of the petitioner would be protected and the present posting as per Ext.P3 would not cause any adverse civil consequence on the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid position made clear in the statement filed by the respondents, I am of the opinion that the petitioner cannot have any grievance against Ext.P3. There is no merit in the writ petition. Accordingly, it is dismissed. (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
