Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Sharma, Judge. For the petitioner: Mr. K.B. Khajuria, Advocate. For the Respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, AG with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. AG. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner only wants a transfer from one tribal area to another tribal area. In one tribal area namely Kinnaur he has completed four years. Learned Additional Advocate General submits that the petitioner can request for transfer only after completing five years in the tribal area in the first appointment. But it has to be seen that the request of the petitioner is not to transfer to a non- tribal area but to a tribal area only. Thus the insistence is only for a tribal area.. In that view of the matter, there will be direction to the second respondent to look into Annexure P-3 and take appropriate action to transfer the petitioner to another tribal area in case vacancy in that tribal area is available. The needful as above shall be done within a three weeks from the date of production of copy of this judgment along with copy of the writ petition by the petitioner. 2. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy Dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. June 3, 2011. ( Justice V.K.Sharma), (karan/vs) Judge.
