IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 11606 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : 04.08.2009 Arjun Singh .... PETITIONER Versus Punjab National Bank and others ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. Ajay Mahajan, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. The petitioner was working as Class IV employee in Punjab National Bank at Pipli, District Kurukshetra. On 9.12.2008, he was promoted to the post of Clerk. On his promotion, he was ordered to join at the Bank Branch Office at Narwana. In pursuance of the said order, the petitioner has joined there. Now, he has filed the instant petition for issuing direction to the respondents to transfer him from the Branch Office, Narwana to the Branch Office, Pipli, on the ground that his daughter, who is handicapped, is getting treatment at Kurukshetra. It is the case of the petitioner that according to the guidelines of the respondent bank dated 16.4.2007, posting of the employees who have mentally retarded children should be made at a place, where medical aid and CWP No. 11606 of 2009 -2- facility is available. After hearing counsel for the petitioner and going through the contents of the petition, I do not find any ground to interfere in the matter, in exercise of the writ jurisdiction of this Court. In my opinion, the petitioner has no legal right to be transferred and posted at a particular place. It is for the employer to post and transfer an employee in view of the guidelines and administrative exigencies. Even otherwise, the petitioner was posted at Pipli since long and on account of his promotion, for the first time, he was transferred from Pipli. This court in exercise of the writ jurisdiction is not to interfere in such matters and enforce the guidelines of the bank. Thus, in the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. Dismissed. August 04, 2009 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
