O R D E R

The instant writ petition has been filed by a Village Administrative Officer seeking a mandamus to direct the first respondent not to transfer him from his current place of deployment.

2. A perusal of the typed set of papers reveals that the petitioner has been transferred from Pudukottai to Coimbatore by way of proceedings dated 21.10.2024. If the petitioner is aggrieved over the said order of transfer, it is for him to challenge the said order. Without challenging the said order, the present writ petition has been filed seeking a mandamus as against the respondents not to relieve him from the current place of deployment. Such a writ petition is not maintainable.

3. With the above said observation, this writ petition stands dismissed with a liberty to the petitioner to challenge the said order of transfer dated 21.10.2024, if he so advised. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
