Accordingly, the petitioner was relieved before 15.9.2008 <\/p>\n<p>    and joined his services at Jalna on 1.10.2008.\n<\/p>\n<p>    4            However,   according   to   the   petitioner,     respondent   no.2 <\/p>\n<p>    again on 15.6.2009 issued transfer order, thereby re-transferring the <\/p>\n<p>    petitioner   to   Aurangabad.   Hence,   being   aggrieved   by   the   said <\/p>\n<p>    transfer   dated   15.6.2009,   by   which   the   petitioner   came   to   be   re-\n<\/p>\n<p>    transferred   within   the   period   of   three   years,   the   petitioner   has <\/p>\n<p>    challenged   the   said   order   in   the   present   petition   and   prayed   for <\/p>\n<p>    quashment thereof.\n<\/p>\n<p>    5            Learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner   canvassed   that   after <\/p>\n<p>    transfer   order   dated   15.6.2009,   the   petitioner   submitted <\/p>\n<p>    representation on 8.7.2009 to respondent no.2 seeking cancellation <\/p>\n<p>    thereof,   but   same   was   not   decided   by   the   concerned   authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Hence, the petitioner again submitted representation on 21.7.2009, <\/p>\n<p>    but same also was not decided by respondent no.2 and copies of the <\/p>\n<p>    said representations are produced at Exh. &#8216;F&#8217; collectively.\n<\/p>\n<p>    6            Learned counsel for the petitioner  also submitted that by <\/p>\n<p>    the   initial   order   dated   30.8.2008   (Exh.   &#8216;A&#8217;),   the   petitioner   was <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                        ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:34:02 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    transferred from Aurangabad to Nagar Parishad, Jalna on deputation <\/p>\n<p>    for the period of three years.   However, by order dated 15.6.2009 <\/p>\n<p>    (Exh.   &#8216;B&#8217;)   he   was   re-transferred   from   Nagar   Parishad,   Jalna     to <\/p>\n<p>    Auranabad   by   respondent   no.2     within   the   period   of   thee   years, <\/p>\n<p>    which is contrary to Section 3 (1) of the Maharashtra Government <\/p>\n<p>    Servants   Regulation   of   Transfers   and   Prevention   of   Delay   in <\/p>\n<p>    Discharge of Official Duties Act, 2005 (hereinafter referred to as, &#8216;the <\/p>\n<p>    Transfer Act of 2005&#8217;) and Circular dated 2.6.2001.\n<\/p>\n<p>    7            It   is   further   canvassed   by   learned   counsel   for   the <\/p>\n<p>    petitioner   that   the   President,   Nagar   Parishad,   Jalna   has   also <\/p>\n<p>    recommended   that   the   petitioner   has   not   completed   his   term   of <\/p>\n<p>    tenure of three years   and it is necessary that the petitioner should <\/p>\n<p>    be allowed to continue with his deputation at Jalna and copy of the <\/p>\n<p>    said   letter   dated   16.6.2009   is   annexed   at   Exh.   &#8216;C&#8217;.     Moreover, <\/p>\n<p>    learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner   also   invited   our   attention   to   the <\/p>\n<p>    communication   dated   15.7.2009,   issued   by   the   President,   Nagar <\/p>\n<p>    Parishad, Jalna, whereby the order of transfer dated 15.6.2009 i.e. <\/p>\n<p>    impugned order was stayed, since the petitioner had not completed <\/p>\n<p>    his tenure of three years and copy thereof is produced at Exh. &#8216;E&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>    8            Learned counsel for the petitioner further submitted that <\/p>\n<p>    one   Mr.   V.B.Sable,   who   was   transferred   to   Jalna   by   order   dated <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                           ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:34:02 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                 5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    5.8.2009   had   taken   the   charge,   but   now     again   he   has   been <\/p>\n<p>    transferred to Yeotmal by order dated 31.5.2010.   Accordingly, it is <\/p>\n<p>    submitted  that both the posts are vacant at Nagar Parishad, Jalna, <\/p>\n<p>    and hence, it is urged that there is no impediment in retaining the <\/p>\n<p>    petitioner at Nagar Parishad, Jalna and prayed that the impugned <\/p>\n<p>    order dated 15.6.2009, being arbitrary and illegal, be quashed and <\/p>\n<p>    set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>    9             Learned   A.G.P.   appearing   for   the   respondents <\/p>\n<p>    vehemently   opposed   the   present   petition   and   countered   the <\/p>\n<p>    arguments   advanced   by   learned   counsel   for   the   petitioner     and <\/p>\n<p>    submitted   that   by   letter   dated   21.11.2008   the   President   of   Nagar <\/p>\n<p>    Parishad, Jalna requested the Chief Engineer, Maharashtra Jeevan <\/p>\n<p>    Pradhikaran,   Aurangabad   Region,   Aurangabad   that   the   petitioner, <\/p>\n<p>    who   was   transferred   to   Nagar   Parishad,   Jalna   on   deputation   has <\/p>\n<p>    joined on 1.10.2008, but  thereafter due to some domestic reason, he <\/p>\n<p>    never   turned   up   to   the   office   since   then.     In   the   said   letter,   the <\/p>\n<p>    President  also requested  to  Chief  Engineer,   Maharashtra  Jeevan <\/p>\n<p>    Pradhikaran   Division,   Aurangabad     i.e.   respondent   no.2,   that <\/p>\n<p>    experienced   Deputy Engineer may be sent on   deputation for two <\/p>\n<p>    years to Nagar Parishad, Jalna, to regulate the water supply to city of <\/p>\n<p>    Jalna, and copy of the said letter dated 21.11.2008 is annexed at <\/p>\n<p>    Exh. &#8216;R-1&#8217; to the affidavit in reply filed by respondent no.2.

It   is   also <\/p>\n<p>    pointed out by learned counsel for respondent no.2 that the so-called <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                          ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 16:34:02 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    stay   order   issued   by   the   President,   Nagar   Parishad,   Jalna   on <\/p>\n<p>    15.7.2009   bears   no   substance,   since   the   impugned     order   dated <\/p>\n<p>    15.6.2009 was already acted upon, as the petitioner was relieved  as <\/p>\n<p>    afore   said,   and   it   is   submitted   that   there   is   no   substance   in   the <\/p>\n<p>    argument canvassed by the learned counsel for the petitioner in that <\/p>\n<p>    respect.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">    12<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  We have perused the contents of the present petition as <\/p>\n<p>    well as affidavit in replies filed by respondent no.2 and respondent <\/p>\n<p>    no.3, and annexures thereto, and also affidavit in rejoinder filed by <\/p>\n<p>    the petitioner and the annexures thereto  as well as considered  the <\/p>\n<p>    submissions advanced by learned respective counsel for the parties <\/p>\n<p>    anxiously, and at the out set, it is seen that the initial order dated <\/p>\n<p>    30.8.2008 (Exh. &#8216;A&#8217;) is the order, by which the petitioner was posted <\/p>\n<p>    at  Nagar Parishad, Jalna on deputation for the period of three years, <\/p>\n<p>    and   accordingly,   he   was   relieved   on   15.9.2008   and   joined   the <\/p>\n<p>    services at Jalna on 1.10.2008.   Thereafter by the impugned order <\/p>\n<p>    dated 15.6.2009 (Exh. &#8216;B&#8217;) he was repatriated from  Nagar Parishad, <\/p>\n<p>    Jalna to Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran Division, Aurangabad in <\/p>\n<p>    public   interest   and   for   administrative   reasons,   in   accordance   with <\/p>\n<p>    Section 4(4)(ii) of the Transfer Act of 2005, and therefore apparently, <\/p>\n<p>    there is no impediment of Section 3(1) of the Transfer Act of 2005, as <\/p>\n<p>    canvassed by learned counsel for the petitioner.
