THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No. 27844 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Deputy Executive Engineer in Sidhout Sub Division of the A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited, Kadapa. The Executive Director of the Corporation, the 3rd respondent herein, transferred the petitioner to Proddatur Sub division against an existing vacancy. The petitioner challenges the same. He contends that the order was passed despite the existence of ban on transfers, and that he has undergone Bypass surgery, in the recent past. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner was transferred from one sub division to another, in the same district. A perusal of the order discloses that the necessity to transfer the petitioner has arisen, on account of lack of trained and efficient hands, and the petitioner was picked up, in recognition of his merit, for the purpose of completion of certain projects. The place to which the petitioner was transferred, is not far off, compared to Sidhout, and Proddatur, is a developed place, and a municipality. The petitioner cannot be said to have suffered any detriment or grievance, on account of the transfer. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.10-11-2010. KO
