[Judgment of the Court was delivered by T.S.SIVAGNANAM,J.]

This Writ Appeal is directed against the order dated 16.10.2018

made in W.P.(MD)No.21600 of 2018.

2. The appellant had challenged the order of transfer, transferring

him from Ranithottam to Chettikulam on the ground that the order of

transfer is vitiated by malafide and it is a punishment transfer.

3. The learned Writ Court, after going through the facts, found that

there is no allegation of misconduct against the appellant in the order of

transfer and it was a transfer of simpliciter.

4. We find that there is no error in the order passed by the learned

Single Judge for us to interfere. Furthermore, this appeal has been

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/ W.A.(MD).No.1713 of 2018

pending ever since December 2018 without even any interim order.

Hence, we are not inclined to interfere with the order passed in the writ

petition.

5. This Writ Appeal stands dismissed. No costs. Consequently,

connected miscellaneous petition is closed.

                                                                   (T.S.S.,J.)         (S.A.I.,J.)

                                                                                 29.06.2021
