IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL WRIT PETITION NO. 971 OF 2011 (S/S) Somesh Sharma ………...Petitioner Versus Kashipur Urban Co-operative Bank Limited, Kashipur and others ……….Respondents. Present: Mr. Chetan Joshi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gopal K. Verma, Advocate for the respondents. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.(Oral) Heard Mr. Chetan Joshi, Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. Gopal K. Verma, counsel for the respondents. The petitioner is a Junior Branch Manager in Kashipur Urban Cooperative Bank, Kichha. According to the petitioner he has been transferred five times within eight months. The last transfer of the petitioner has been made by the order dated 22.7.2011 whereby the petitioner has been transferred from Kashipur to Kichha. It is this order which has been impugned by the petitioner. The respondents in their counter affidavit have admitted that the petitioner has been frequently transferred. The reason assigned is that the petitioner is well versed with the technical computer banking programme problems and such problems can only be solved by the petitioner therefore he has been transferred frequently. This cannot be the reason for frequently transferring the petitioner. As such, the frequent transfers of the petitioner are without just reasons and are harassing him. Since the petitioner has already joined at Kichha and is presently working there, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent no.1 to 2 consider the representation of the petitioner and pass an appropriate order therein within a period of three weeks from the date a certified copy of this order is produced before him. Respondent No. 1 shall keep in mind that he has frequently transferred the petitioner without there being any just reason. What the respondent no.1 has to do is sympathetically consider the representation of the petitioner. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.
