CWP No. 3030 of 2011 03.06.2011 Present: Ms. Salochana Kaundal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anil Jaswal, Dy.A.G. for respondents No. 1 to 3. Mr. T.C. Sharma, Advocate for respondent No.4. In terms of order dated 30.4.2011, petitioner Sanjay Kumar was transferred from Govt. Primary School, Baggi to Govt. Primary School, Pasha Kot, where respondent No.4 Sunil Kumar had been working for more than 7 years, who in turn was transferred to Govt. Primary School, Baggi. It is not in dispute that Pasha Kot is a difficult area and under the Transfer Policy, normally an employee would be obliged to serve once and that too for five years in such place. From the facts, as have emerged on record, it is evident that petitioner has served in tribal/difficult/hard area only for a period of three years, whereas respondent No.4 has served for more than seven years. Under the interim orders passed by this Court, respondent No.4 had availed leave and had not re-joined the original place of his posting after being relieved from there on 3.5.2011. Fact of the matter is that under interim orders passed by this Court, today Sanjay Kumar is serving at Govt. Primary School, Baggi. 2. In view of the fact that Sunil Kumar has served in difficult area for a longer tenure than Sanjay Kumar, interim orders passed by this Court need to be vacated. Accordingly, Sunil Kumar shall now join Govt. Primary School, Baggi. 3. It is open for Sanjay Kumar to approach respondent No.2, clearly setting out his grievances and hardships resulting -2- out of the transfer order. Needful shall be done within a period of two days from today. Respondent No. 2, thereafter shall sympathetically consider the petitioner’s case and post him at another station other than the difficult area. Till then, the petitioner agrees to avail leave of kind due. The decision, as above, shall be positively taken within a period of ten days. 4. With the aforesaid observations, present petition stands disposed of as not pressed. Copy dasti. June 3, 2011 ( Sanjay Karol ), (pankaj) Judge.
