IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No. 4496 of 2010 Date of decision: 17.8.2010. Tirath Ram ….. Petitioner. Vs. HRTC and Anr. …. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh, Judge. For the Petitioner : Mr. M.L.Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. Vikrant Thakur, Advocate. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The Writ Petition is filed mainly with the following prayer “(i) That the writ of mandamus may kindly be issued to the respondents with the directions to relieve the petitioner as per order dated 23.02.2010 (Annexure P-1).” 2. It is seen from the instruction dated 10th August, 2010, from the Managing Director, which is taken on record that the employees transferred to the tribal area are to be relieved forthwith and if they do not join duty the disciplinary action will be taken. In the case of the petitioner, his transfer order is dated 23.2.2010, transferring him from the tribal area. According to the learned counsel for the respondents, only after a substitute joins duty, the petitioner can be relieved. In the case of the petitioner, the - 2 - substitute has already been relieved. In case he has not joined duty, it is for the Corporation to take appropriate action against him or post another person. So long as the order dated 23.2.2010 is concerned, it has to be implemented, therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to relieve the petitioner within three weeks from today. 4. With these observations, the petition stands disposed of so also the pending application(s) if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. August 17, 2010.
