Decisions seconding and transferring employees. Their exclusion from the jurisdiction of the Administrative Circuit. Its condition. That they do not embody a decision falling within this Circuit’s jurisdiction, such as a decision embodying a disguised disciplinary penalty. The criterion is whether, through its decision, the administration intends to serve the public interest or to act maliciously against the employee or take revenge upon him. What suffices in this regard.
