JUSTICE M.I.ARUN) The petitioner in the instant writ petition has challenged his transfer from Karajagi Hobli, Afzalpur taluka, District Kalaburagi to Gubbewad Residential School, Tq. Sindagi, District Vijayapur and in his place respondent No.6 has been posted. The petitioner is serving as Computer Science teacher in Morarji Desai Residential School. 2. The petitioner was appointed to the said post on 26.12.2019. The impugned order of transfer is dated 29.09.2022. The case of the petitioner is that he could not have been transferred within five years from the date of his appointment. This Court passed an interim order on 14.09.2023, staying the order of transfer. But, it is submitted that by that time, he had joined the post where he was transferred to. Irrespective of it, it is seen that five years has elapsed since he was posted to Karajagi. - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-K:3006 WP No. 201028 of 2023 3. For that reason, the writ petition has become infructuous and accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- (M.I.ARUN) JUDGE SMP List No.: 1 Sl No.: 28 CT:SI
