ORDER
The petitioner / Secretary of the respondent Society, a common cadre employee, has been transferred from A class society to B class society. This transfer order is challenged in this writ petition.
2. The petitioner has made out a prima facie case by referring to Rule No.18 of the Tamil Nadu Primary Agricultural Co-Operative Credit Societies Service Rules, 2019, which states that the Secretary who is working in A class society can be transferred only to A class society. The said Rule is extracted as under: “18. Posting and transfer. - (1) The transfer of the Common Cadre Employee may be made by the Common Cadre Authority suo-motu or at the request of the Primary Agriculture Co-operative Credit Societies concerned. The Common Cadre Authority shall order a transfer of a Common Cadre Employee when directed by the Registrar of Co-operative Societies. No Common Cadre Employee shall be posted to the parent society or to a Society which is situated in his native village; Provided that a Common Cadre Employee whose Parent Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Society is "A" Class shall be transferred only to “A” Class
WP(MD) No. 32136 of 2025 Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Society. Similarly, a Common Cadre Employee whose Parent Primary Agricultural and Co-Operative Credit Society to “B” class shall be transferred to "B" Class Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Society and a Common Cadre Employee whose Parent Primary Agricultural Co- operative Credit Society is “C” Class shall be transferred to "C" Class Primary Agricultural Cooperative Credit Society only.”
3. Considering the above Rule that the common cadre employee shall be transferred to the same class society, this writ petition is allowed since the petitioner has been transferred from “ A” class society to “ B” class society. The impugned order is set aside. No costs. Consequently connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 16-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No DSK
