IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP (T) No.: 1429 of 2008 Date of decision: 7.8.2009 Pitamber Dutt …. Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. and others. … Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Deepak Gupta, J. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, J. Whether approved for reporting?1No. For the petitioner: Mr. Lokender Thakur, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Deputy Advocate General. Per Deepak Gupta, J. (Oral) By means of this petition, the petitioner, who is working as Work Inspector, has challenged his transfer from Bilaspur Division to Kalpa Division. The main ground of challenge was that the post of ‘Work Inspector’ is the circle cadre post and he could not have been posted out side his circle. The State has taken the stand that vide notification dated 1st October, 2008 the post of Work Inspector has been brought within the State cadre and is no longer a circle cadre post. It is urged on behalf of the petitioner that this notification will not validate the impugned order since the said order was passed prior to the issuance of this notification. 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? Yes. 2 It is not disputed that the petitioner had obtained the stay order from the erstwhile Tribunal and continues to function in the Bilaspur Division. Therefore, without going into the disputed question as to whether this notification can have retrospective operation or not, we dispose of this writ petition with a direction that the State may issue fresh transfer order of the petitioner keeping in view the administrative exigencies and the public interest.
