IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 1452 (SS) of 2011 Alam Singh Mewari …Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand and others …Respondents Mr. Rakesh Thapliyal, Advocate present for the petitioner. Mr. N.P. Sah, learned Standing Counsel present for the State of Uttarakhand. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. Heard Mr. Rakesh Thapliyal, Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. N.P. Sah, learned Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. The petitioner is working as Assistant Block Development Officer, who has been transferred from block Okhalkanda to Block Betalghat by order dated 17.10.2011 within the same district i.e. Nainital. This Court is not inclined to interfere in the transfer order dated 17.10.2011 as the only ground for challenging the transfer order is that the transfer order does not disclose whether the petitioner has not been transferred in public interest or on administrative ground. In fact order does not assign any reason. The transfer is an exigency of service and there are very limited grounds to challenge the same, which is when the transfer order is in violation of the statutory rules or it is without jurisdiction or which suffers from mala fide. In fact none of the grounds have been taken, as such transfer order cannot be interfered with. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed and is hereby dismissed. Interim order dated 21.10.2011 is vacated. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) Dated: 25.11.2011 VKG
