:JUDGMENT
[Judgment of the Court was delivered by G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.] The unsuccessful writ petitioner is on appeal, questioning the order dated 21 October 2013, dismissing W.P.(MD) No.16168 of 2013.
2.The said writ petition was filed by the appellant herein questioning the order of transfer by deployment passed by the second respondent herein vide proceedings dated 26 September 2013. By the said order impugned in the writ petition, the writ petitioner had been transferred from Virudhunagar Branch State Bank of India to Parthibanur Branch.
3.The learned Single Judge held that on account of staff becoming surplus, the Management was entitled to take recourse to redeployment. Transfer is an incident of service. The allegation of malice against the Management was negatived. Finding no merit in the writ petition, the writ petition was dismissed. Aggrieved by the same, the employee filed the instant intra court appeal.
4.It is stated that during the pendency of the appeal proceedings, the appellant herein had been transferred from Parthibanur Branch to Sattur Branch, which is quite near to Virudhunagar.
5.Taking note of the reasoning set out in the order of the learned single Judge and the subsequent development viz., transfer of the writ petitioner to Sattur Branch, this writ appeal is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is also dismissed.
