23.7.2008 Present: Mr. Rakesh Kumar Dogra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. J. K. Verma, Dy. A. G. for the respondents. CWP No.1165/2008 This writ petition is directed against the order of transfer of the petitioner. The contention of the petitioner is that he has one year and two months to go for his retirement. Inspite of the same, he has been transferred. It has been further contended that no time has been granted to the petitioner to join. In case, the petitioner has not been transferred on his personal request, then he be allowed 15 days time from today to join in the new place of posting, as agreed by the learned Advocate General. In light of the various judgments of the Apex Court, transfer orders can be challenged either on the ground of violation of law or a strong case of malafide. There is no such foundation in the pleadings. In light of the above discussion, no interference is warranted under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application. ` ( Jagdish Bhalla ), C.J. ( Sanjay Karol ), J. July 23, 2008 (rana)
