O R D E R:-
This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the actionof the proceedings dated 26.12.2008 issued by the 2[nd] respondent-Commissioner of Intermediate Education, as arbitrary and illegal.
The petitioner asserts that he was appointed as a Lecturer inPhysics in G.N.R.M. Junior College, Chennur, Kadapa District, which is aprivate Aided College and later deployed to On Duty Basis to GovernmentJunior College (G) Jammalamadugu, Kadapa District in the year 2005. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that based on a letter dated8.12.2008 addressed by the 3[rd] respondent-Regional Joint Director to the2[nd] respondent, the petitioner was transferred to G.V.N.P.S.R. JuniorCollege (Aided), Veerapanainipalli without assigning any reasonwhatsoever affecting education of his children, who are studying 7[th] classand Intermediate.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learnedGovernment Pleader for Education.
Transfer is an incidence of service and is made on administrativegrounds. This Court normally does not interfere in matters of transferunless it is shown that the transfer order is fraught with mala fides and hasbeen made for extraneous reasons. However, having regard to theproblems faced by the petitioner with regard to the education of hischildren and his wife, who is working as a teacher near Proddutur, I deemit appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions:
“The petitioner is directed to make appropriate representationseeking his retention at Jammalamadugu, Kadapa District to the 3[rd] respondent, and if any such representation is made, the 3[rd] respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriateorders thereon in accordance with law.”
Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
