O R D E R
The petitioner, has come to this Court questioning the correctness of the impugned order of transfer posting him to Cherambadi, The Nilgiris in the existing vacancy from Upper https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
Coonoor, The Nilgiris, on the ground that when the petitioner has given his letter dated 19.05.2017 specifically mentioning that he may be transferred to any of the Police Stations in Erode district, instead of posting him in any of the Police Stations in Erode district, the respondents have transferred him within the Nilgiris district, therefore, the impugned order is liable to be interfered with, is far from acceptance.
2. The petitioner, while serving as Inspector of Police in Upper Conoor Police Station, The Nilgiris, has been shifted to Cherambadi, The Nilgiris in the existing vacancy along with 33 other Inspectors of Police. Therefore, when the transfer and posting order of Inspectors of Police indicated that not only the petitioner, even 33 other Inspectors of Police along with the petitioner are also transferred, the petitioner cannot allege any malafide or after thought. Hence, the contention made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been disturbed within a year also does not carry any weight. The reason is that he has been posted within the same Nilgiris district. Therefore the question of transferring the petitioner within one year is wholly unacceptable. Accordingly, the writ petition fails and it is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are also dismissed.
