R.S. Chauhan, J.

1. The petitioner, Mr. H.R. Ramesh, is aggrieved by the two transfer orders: firstly, the order dated 6-5-2015 (Annexure-A) whereby Mr. B.A. Krishnegowda, the respondent No. 3, has been posted to Somwarpet on the post of Chief Officer at Town Municipal Council, a post held by the petitioner. By the said order, simultaneously, the petitioner has been kept "awaiting posting order" ('APO', for short). Secondly, the order dated 25-7-2015 (Annexure-Q) whereby the petitioner was subsequently posted as Chief Officer, Town Panchayat, Hannur.

2. The brief of the facts are that the petitioner happens to be a member of the cadre of Senior Health Inspector. Due to retirement of one Mr. M.S. Ranjan, by order dated 8-9-2014, the petitioner was posted on the post of Chief Officer Grade II, Somwarpet. Subsequently, by order dated 6-5-2015, the respondent No. 3, who happens to belong to the cadre of Community Affair Officer, has been posted in the place of the petitioner, and the petitioner was kept as APO. Subsequently, by order dated 25-7-2015, the petitioner who was kept as APO has been posted as Chief Officer, Town Panchayat, Hannur. Hence, this petition before this Court.
