By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed to issue a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing of the impugned transfer order dated 14th June 2007, so far it relates to the petitioner, passed by the Addl. District Education Officer (Basic) Tehri Garhwal, New Tehri by which the petitioner, who was working as Assistant Teacher (Urdu) in Primary School, Semal Tappar Block Chamba District Tehri Garhwal has been transferred to Primary School Belyagaon, Block Pratapnagar, district Tehri Garhwal. It has been averred by the petitioner that she was working in Primary School Semal Tappar, Block Chamba for more than 10 years. The petitioner has been transferred from the aforesaid school on the ground that the teachers working at Semal Tappar are more than the prescribed standard as stipulated by the Govt. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the impugned order is mala-fide one, however he could not show any document, which could show that the said order of transfer has been passed mala-fide. By the impugned order a bunch of teachers have been transferred from one place to another. The petitioner could not proved any mala-fide intension of the respondents in passing the transfer order. I do not find any ground to interfere with impugned transfer order. The writ petition lacks merit and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs.
