T Prakash v. The Union Of India,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.S.RAMACHANDRA RAO W.P.No.2003 of 2018 ORDER:

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri B.Jitender, learned counsel for the respondents.

2.

Petitioner has assailed an order dt.16-12-2017 of 5th respondent transferring the petitioner from Hyderabad to 2nd Battalion said to be situated at Sukuma, Chattisgarh State. 3.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is involved in matrimonial disputes with his spouse, that a case is pending in the Family Court in the State of Karnataka, that he has also been given custody of his minor son, who is studying L.K.G., and the transfer of the petitioner from Hyderabad to Sukuma is arbitrary and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. 4.

Admittedly the petitioner is employed as a Constable in the CRPF which is a disciplined service. There is nothing to indicate that the transfer of the petitioner is for any extraneous reason other than administrative exigency. It is also not the case of the petitioner that the transfer is mala fide for any reason. 5.

In these circumstances, I see no reason to interfere with the impugned order of transfer.

6.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed at the admission stage. No costs.

MSR,J W.P.No.2003 of 2018 7.

As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall stand closed.
