IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No. 3222 of 2010. Decided on: 24th June, 2010. Basant Singh. …..Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. and ors. …… Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajiv Sharma, Judge. For the petitioner : Mr. Bimal Gupta, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. Advocate General, for respondents No.1 to 3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner is aggrieved by his transfer from Government Middle School, Manwana to Government Middle School, Sarkidhar. According to the petitioner, when he was transferred earlier to Sarkidhar, he made a representation pointing out that he is a heart patient and he has two daughers. On the representation, the transfer was cancelled and he was adjusted at Manwana. As far as the 4th respondent is concerned, he had actually been transferred from Government Senior Secondary School, Bhambla to Government Middle School, Sarkidhar. However, she got that order cancelled and got posting at Government Middle School, Manwana, so as to disturb the petitioner from 2 Manwana. Though notice is served, there is no appearance on behalf of the 4th respondent. 2. Having regard to the facts, as stated in the writ petition, we are of the view that it would be appropriate if the petitioner is retained at the present station since the 4th respondent had already been given the posting at Sarkidhar and that place is not far from Manwana and since comparative inconvenience is more for the petitioner, in view of the facts as stated above. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing second respondent to retain the petitioner at Manwana and accommodate the 4th respondent either at Sarkidhar or any other place of her convenience, which she may point out, subject to the availability of vacancy. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 24th June, 2010 ( Justice Rajiv Sharma), (tr) Judge. 3
