Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, Judge. For the Petitioner (s) : Mr. Jagdish Thakur, Advocate vice Mr. N.K.Thakur, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K.Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Sood, Addl. AG. And Mr. J.K.Verma, Dy. AG for the respondents. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) It is seen from Annexure P-6 order passed by the Director of Health Services that petitioner is to be retained at R.H., Una till his retirement since he has only seven months to retire from service. Despite the order from the superior authority, it is seen that the Senior Medical Officer has relieved the petitioner. There is no reply as yet. Since the petitioner has only seven months to retire from service and he is otherwise sickly heart patient, it will not be appropriate to transfer him. Therefore, the impugned order is - 2 - quashed and the petitioner is retained at R.H., Una unless otherwise ordered by the government. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. September 28, 2010. (Justice Kuldip Singh), (Hem) Judge.
