CWP no. 2600 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP no. 2600 of 2011 (O&M) Decided on : 04-11-2011 Mahipal and others ....Petitioners VERSUS State of Haryana and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. J.S.Hooda, Advocate for the petitioners Mr. Sunil Nehra, Sr. DAG, Haryana MAHESH GROVER, J In this petition, the petitioners make a grievance by stating that even though transfers of police officials can be made from one District to another yet there is no coherent policy being followed by the respondents in recalling the officials who have been transferred from one District to another. He has referred to certain instances by saying that three officials were transferred but recalled lateron. He further contends that in accordance with Annexure P-7, the petitioners are bound to be transferred back as the arrangement was made for one year only. On due consideration of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that once in principle it is accepted that a police official according to Punjab Police Rules is liable to the transferred from one District to another or even to another range and the question that there is no absolute prohibition in doing so in exercise of administrative powers having been approvingly answered in the judgment of this Court in CWP no.7156 of 2010 decided on 10.9.2010, I am of the considered opinion that the CWP no. 2600 of 2011 (O&M) 2 aforesaid contention which has been raised before this Court is totally misplaced. The matters of administrative exigencies falling within the domain of the respondents which are supported by rules are therefore not open to question. Likewise second contention made by learned counsel for the petitioners is also mis-placed for the very same reason that the matters of administrative exigencies are to be exercised by keeping in view the totality of the circumstances. No ground to grant the prayer of the petitioners is made out. Hence, dismissed. November 4, 2011 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
