IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP(T) No. 748 of 2008 Date of decision: 07.05.2009 Parveen Kumar Joshi … Petitioner Versus State of H.P. & Ors. … Respondents Coram : The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, Judge. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge. Whether approved for reporting?1 No. For the Petitioner: Mr. Anup Rattan, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. R.M. Bisht, Deputy Advocate General, for respondents No. 1 to 3 Per Deepak Gupta, J. (Oral): By means of this petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 2.4.2008, whereby he has been ordered to be transferred from Una to Chamba. The case of the petitioner is that this transfer was made only with a view to adjust respondent No. 4 and not in the administrative interest. In support of this allegation, the petitioner relies upon the transfer order itself which does indicate that respondent No. 4 who was under transfer to Chamba, has been retained at Una at his request since it is not mentioned that he is entitled to TTA and joining time. Even if we assume that the transfer of Prem Chand was cancelled at his request, it does not lead to the 1Whether reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment? Yes. 2 inference that the transfer of the petitioner is not in the administrative interest. In the reply filed, various allegations have been made against the petitioner. We are not going into the merits of these allegations but it does appear that the petitioner is not regular in attending to his work. Therefore, we see no reason to interfere with the transfer order, which the employer has passed keeping in view the administrative exigency and the interest of the pubic. It is also pertinent to note that pursuant to the stay order passed by the Erstwhile H.P. Administrative Tribnal, the petitioner has stayed at Una for more than one year. Therefore, we find that there is no reason that the stay order should be extended. The petition is rejected. CMP(T) No. 50 of 2009: In view of the disposal of the main writ petition, no orders are required to be passed. All other miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall also stand disposed of.
