S ANGAMUTHU Vs. SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for disposal.

(2.) THE petitioner has joined the Police Force as Grade-II Police Constable on 12.09.1986 and thereafter promoted as Grade-I Police Constable on 22.07.1997 and further as Head Constable on 22.07.2002. An order of transfer was passed against the petitioner on administrative ground by the Inspector General of Police in and by his proceedings dated 20.03.2008. THE said order was communicated to the petitioner by the 1st respondent dated 26.03.2008. Challenging the order dated 26.03.2008, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition.

(3.) A perusal of the impugned order would indicate that it is merely a communication sent by the 1st respondent informing the petitioner about the order of transfer passed by the Inspector General of Police. The petitioner has not impleaded the Inspector General of Police and also not challenged the order passed by him. Therefore in as much as the power has been delegated to the Inspector General of Police who is the competent authority and the order of transfer passed by him has not been challenged, the writ petition is totally misconceived. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
