The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that Tekkali is 165 KM distance from Visakhapatnam, is no ground to interfere with the proceedings (Ex.P.2.). It is not the case of the petitioner that it is a punitive order. The 2nd respondent, upon considering the petitioner’s representation revoked the suspension and issued posting orders. The petitioner cannot choose a place of her choice. As an Assistant Public Prosecutor, the petitioner has to discharge her duties wherever she is posted. Given the discussions supra, this Court does not find any merits in the writ petition. Hence, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. 7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________ SUBBA REDDY SATTI, J Date: 23.01.2025 KA 4 275 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SUBBA REDDY SATTI WRIT PETITION NO: 30000/2024 Date: 23.01.2025 KA
