CWP No.91 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No.91 of 2010 Date of decision: 07.01.2010 Baldev Singh ...Petitioner Versus Director Village Development & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. P.N. Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). This is a petition wherein a prayer has been made for a direction to transfer the inquiry pending against the petitioner before respondent No.2- Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development), Fatehgarh Sahib to some other officer in another district. Brief factual background of the case is that the petitioner filed a complaint for removal of Gurdeep Singh, Sarpanch and Manjit Kaur, Panch of Village Majra Manna Singh (respondents No.3 and 4 herein). He levelled certain allegations against them vide complaint, Annexure P-1, addressed to respondent No.1, who accorded sanction to conduct regular inquiry to respondent No.2, vide order dated 12th November, 2009 (Annexure P-2). Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that respondent No.2 is not likely to conduct the inquiry in a fair and impartial manner. According to him, respondent No.3 is influential CWP No.91 of 2010 2 person and likely to exert political pressure upon respondent No.2. Thus, the case needs to be transferred to another officer outside the district. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. He has not been able to show any material in support of his contention that the Additional Deputy Commissioner (Development) is acting or likely to act under political pressure. Admittedly, inquiry against respondents No.3 and 4 is already pending. A perusal of order, Annexure P-2, shows that respondent No.2 has been entrusted a regular inquiry against respondents No.3 & 4. It has also been directed therein that the inquiry shall be conducted by the Additional Deputy Commissioner personally. Under the circumstances, I find no ground to interfere in writ jurisdiction of this court for issuance of the direction as prayed for. In fact, the petition appears to be totally frivolous. The same is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE January 07, 2010 'rajpal'
