CWP No. 1180 of 2008. 30.07.2008 Present: Mr. J.L. Bhardwaj, Advocate, vice Mr. Sanjeev Bhushan, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General, for respondents No.1 and 2. This writ petition is directed against the order whereby the petitioner who was serving in the vicinity of 35 kilometers from his native place has been transferred from Veterinary Dispensary, Baghaeigarh to Veterinary Dispensary Rei (Pangi), tribal area in District Chamba. The petitioner is still in Chamba District. The earlier transfer order was also passed within Chamba District admittedly in a local arrangement by the Deputy Director who is not the appointing authority of the petitioner. However, he has a right to transfer the person within his command. Therefore, the petitioner was transferred from Baghaeigarh to Garned. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner has been transferred from Baghaeigarh to Veterinary Dispensary Rei (Pangi) and in the process it has been alleged that even the authorities are not aware of the posting of the petitioner, therefore, the order is bad in the eyes of law. Such mistake can be a clerical mistake, which cannot be said to be a strong case of malafides. During the course of arguments or from the perusal of the record we do not find any foundation of violation of law or allegation regarding malafide. Accordingly, no interference is warranted under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is dismissed, so also the pending application. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J. July 30, 2008.
