¶15

Petitioner has filed the instant writ petition against order dated 12.03.2026 issued by the Secretary (Admn.), AVVNL, Ajmer, whereby the petitioner, who has been working on the post of Sr. AO (IA), AVVNL, Corporate Office, Ajmer, has been directed to perform as Sr. AO (Rev.), AVVNL, Corporate Office, Ajmer.

(2 of 2)

[2026:RJ-JP:19976]

[CW-5459/2026]

the impugned order is that the petitioner is not inclined to work as Sr. AO (Rev.)

¶21

It is a settled proposition of law that this Court while exercising writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India cannot interfere in day to day routine business of respondent-Corporation and it is well within the jurisdiction of Corporation to assess the suitability of a particular officer with regard to his working on a particular post.

¶22

The impugned order has apparently been passed on account of accrual of administrative exigencies and there appears to be no malafide in issuance of impugned order, nor is there any violation of statutory rules; hence, there is no scope for interference in the impugned order.

¶23

Consequently, the writ petition filed by the petitioner, is hereby, dismissed.

¶24

Pending application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of.
