Ms. Sudeepti Sharma, DAG, Punjab for the respondents. **** SURYA KANT .J.(Oral) The petitioners have been shifted/transferred from their present place of postings to another Schools on account of poor result of their students. The impugned order cannot be said to be punitive in nature as its real object is to increase the quality of education and the sense of discipline among the teachers, who need to devote themselves for the cause of future generations. In any case and to ensure that the impugned orders are not taken as an adverse material against the petitioners for the purpose of service benefits, it is directed that the impugned order, for all intents and purposes, shall be treated as a simpliciter transfer order. With these observations, this petition stands disposed of without interfering with the fresh postings of the petitioners. (SURYA KANT) 08.09.2011 JUDGE 'ravinder'
