IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 11247 of 2011 Date of Decision: 06.09.2011 Inderjit Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ..Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Anil Shukla, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Kavita Arora, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab for the respondents. **** SURYA KANT, J.(Oral) The petitioner is a senior Draftsman who has been transferred to Bhatinda from Patiala vide the impugned order dated 17.06.2011 (Annexure P-3). The petitioner avers that the transfer has caused extreme hardship to him as well as to his family. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, I am of the considered view that transfer being an incidence of service, this Court need not interfere with the same. However, the mitigating circumstances, if any, can be sympathetically considered by the competent authority. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondents No.1 and 2 to consider the petitioner's request for posting him at Patiala or at a nearby place sympathetically and pass appropriate order within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Dasti. (SURYA KANT) 06.09.2011 JUDGE 'ravinder'
