The petitioner impugns the orders dated 19.05.2009 (Annexure P2) and dated 02.07.2008 (Annexure P1) so far as the same relate to his transfer from Government College, Hoshiarpur to Government College, Tanda, so as to accommodate a part-time Lecturer (Mr. Virender Kumar) as according to the petitioner, the orders passed by this Court regarding retention of part- time Lecturers are being misconstrued by the respondents. (2). Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I find that the controversy involved in the present CWP No.10945 of 2009.doc - 2 – case stands answered in favour of the petitioner vide a Division Bench judgement of this Court rendered in the case of Pawan Kumar Bansal and others vs. State of Punjab and others (CWP No.12113 of 2008) decided on 30.09.2008. (3). For the reasons already assigned in the Pawan Kumar’s case (supra), the writ petition is allowed; the transfer order of the petitioner from Government College, Hoshiarpur to Government College, Tanda to the extent it is meant to accommodate the part-time Lecturer at Hoshiarpur, is hereby quashed. However, the respondents shall be at liberty to offer the resultant vacant vacancy to the part-time Lecturer. Similarly, this order shall not preclude the respondents to transfer the petitioner from Hoshiarpur to any other place, if so required, in public interest and for administrative efficiency. (4). Ordered accordingly. (5). Dasti . (SURYA KANT) JUDGE 16.02.2010 vishal shonkar
