by imposing the same terms and conditions of the office order, dated 20.08.2000. There after, under the administrative exigencies, the respondent company passed orders, dated 18.11.2002, transferring the petitioner from SMG-3 Incline to Ramagundam-I area, but he did not join in that area for the reason that SMG-3 Incline is going to be closed. As the petitioner did not join SMG-3 Incline, the management passed orders, dated 21.12.2002, cancelling its earlier order, dated 18.11.2002. There after, on an application made by the petitioner, dated 25.02.2003 seeking to post him at KK-5 Incline, by order, dated 13.09.2003, the request of the petitioner was considered. On 01.10.2003, the petitioner joined at KK-5 Incline, Mandamarri and continued there upto 06.11.2003. As the petitioner was never transferred under Re-deployment Scheme from 18.11.2002 onwards, the transfer orders, dated 06.11.2003 were issued to the petitioner. Hence, it is incorrect to state that within a short period of 36 days, the petitioner was transferred from KK5, Mandamarri to Manuguru Project Area. It is further stated in the counter that the impugned order of transfer, dated 06.11.2003 is a routine transfer made on the administrative grounds. One of the terms and conditions of the office order shows that consequent upon the transfer, there will be no change in the present service conditions, category/grade and rate of pay except that they will be governed by the hours of work, holidays, etc., as applicable to the employees working in the Mine/Department where they will be required to work on transfer from time to time and they are required to follow the system of 7 day week with staggering play-days and avail play-day on the notified day of work. Hence, the petitioner cannot attribute any mala fides or illegalities in the order of transfer, dated 06.11.2003.
