IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 877 of 2005 (S/S) Smt. Usha Kamboj a/a 45 years W/o Sri Gurdayal Singh Posed as A.N.M. at Medical Sub-Centre Jassowala Under Primary Health Centre Sahaspur District Dehradun … Petitioner Versus 1. State of Uttaranchal through Secretary Medical & Health Services, Uttaranchal Dehradun 2. Chief Medical Officer Dehradun 3. Smt. Uma Rana District Health Worker C/o Primary Health Centre Sahaspur District Dehradun … Respondents Sri C.D. Bahuguna, learned counsel for the petitioner Sri N.B.Shah, learned standing counsel for the State Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. By way of this writ petition a relief has been sought in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned transfer order dated 06.06.2005 issued by the Chief Medical Officer, Dehradun. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner is working as A.N.M. posed at Medical Sub-Centre Jassowala under Primary Health Centre Sahaspur, District Dehradun. She has been transferred from Medical Sub- Centre Jassowala to Medical Sub-Centre Rayagi under Primary Health Centre Tyuni, District Dehradun vide order dated 06.06.2005. Feeling aggrieved by the aforesaid impugned transfer order this writ petition has been filed. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the transfer order is based on mala fide and is an unreasonable transfer, which is going to uproot family and cause irreparable harm to the petitioner. The arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner appears to be devoid of any merit. The petitioenr is posted at present place since July 1988 and it is only after the period f about 17 years, she is being transferred from that place to another place. The transfer is necessary concomitance of every service. The transfer order shows that the transfer has been made on the administrative ground. The transfer order cannot be said to be frequent and unscheduled. The transfer order also cannot be said to be unreasonable as I could not lay my hands which may suggest that the transfer order is based on mala fide. I therefore, do not find any ground, which requires any interference of this Court by way of the jurisdiction to be invoked under article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to move the representation before the respondents who shall decide the same preferably within a period f two weeks.
