It is the contention of the petitioner that for no reason he has been transferred. It is further contended that some baggages were kept behind the driver seat. It was presumed that it was taken by the petitioner and on the presumption, the petitioner had been transferred to Puducherry. 3. At this juncture, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 27395 of 2025 respondents would submit that there was a charge memorandum issued against the petitioner and in order to have unbiased enquiry, on the administrative ground the petitioner has been transferred from Villupuram to Puducherry. 4. I have given my anxious consideration to the submissions made by both sides. 5. Though it is contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the incriminated bags which contains certain banned items was not taken by the petitioner and taking advantage of his absence in the vehicle, the same was placed behind the driver seat, this aspect cannot be gone into in the writ jurisdiction. It is for the management to take into consideration of the above aspects. 6. Therefore, this Court does not find any merits in the impugned order dated 26.04.2025.
