CWP No. 1119 of 2008. 16.4.2009. Present: Mr.I.D. Bali, Senior Advocate, with Mr.K.G. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr.J.K. Verma, Dy.A.G., for respondents No.1 to 3. Mr.J.L. Bhardwaj, Advocate, for respondent No.4. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner, who is employed as Senior Assistant in the Irrigation and Public Health Department, has challenged his transfer from Ani to Salooni. On 18.7.2008, after perusing the petition, we had granted stay in favour of the petitioner since we accepted the averments made on affidavit in the writ petition that respondent No.4 had spent about 20 years at Ani. On verification of the facts, we find that both the petitioner as well as respondent No.4 have spent nearly an equal amount of time at Ani. It has been pointed out in the reply by the respondent-State that respondent No.4, prior to his last posting at Ani, was posted at Reckong Peo, which is a tribal area and as per the transfer policy, he had to be kept at the station of his choice after his transfer from the tribal area, for a period of two years. Therefore, his transfer order to Salooni was cancelled and he was retained at Ani. We find nothing wrong in this action of the State and, therefore, the petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. In view of the final disposal of the main petition, all the pending applications, if any, shall also stand disposed of. Interim orders shall stand vacated. (Deepak Gupta), Judge . April 16, 2009.
