IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.8043 of 2011 Date of decision : 17.5.2011 Ishwar Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.R.S.Mamli, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. In this petition the petitioner has impugned the order of his transfer. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner in the first instance, this Court was not inclined to issue notice of motion considering the fact that it is merely an order of transfer. Learned counsel for the petitioner then contended that the petitioner is due to retire in May 2012 and that since no extension in service has been granted to him at the age of 55 years, he is to attain the age of superannuation within six months and thus the transfer is totally contrary to the policy of the State of Haryana. Seemingly, believing the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is likely to superannuate within six months, the Court requested the Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana to seek C.W.P.No.8043 of 2011 -2- instructions in the matter. Today when the case was taken up, Mr.Rathee apprised the Court that the contention is totally incorrect as the petitioner has been granted extension in service in November 2010. He has produced a copy of the order to that effect. This Court thus finds that the contention which was raised before this Court by the learned counsel for the petitioner is totally incorrect and was made ostensibly with an intention to mislead the Court so as to get a favourable order. Considering the matter in its entirety, the Court is constrained to say that such attempts by the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing on his behalf are unsavory to say the least. It is not expected of the counsel to make a misstatement before the Court. The petition is, therefore, dismissed with costs of Rs.10,000/- to be deposited before the Mediation and Conciliation Centre of this Court. 17.5.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
