- (1.) THE petitioners herein are working as Drivers in the Siddipet Depot of a. P. S. R. T. C. They have been posted to that Depot, in the recent past. Through the impugned order, dated 21. 7. 2008, the regional Manager, Mediak, at Sanga Reddy, the 2nd respondent herein, transferred them to various places, including Zaheerabad, and Narayankhed, within the same region. They feel aggrieved by the said transfer.
(2.) PETITIONERS contend that the 2nd respondent had transferred them to far off places, even while retaining the long standing drivers, at Siddipet, and accommodating the requests of Drivers, from other places, for being posted at Siddipet.
(3.) RESPONDENTS filed counter-affidavit, stating inter alia that the necessity to transfer the petitioners arose, on account of their making over certain services and routes from Siddipet to Dubbak Depot. It is also stated that, some of the employees have made requests for transferring them to siddipet, and the junior-most employees, in the cadre of Drivers, have been transferred to other places.;
