IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL WRIT PETITION NO. 3482 OF 2001 (SS) Bhupendra Singh Dasila ……Petitioner. Versus Principal, Government Inter College, Pipalkot and others. ……….Respondents. Mr. R.C. Joshi, Advocate holding brief of Mr. Vijay Bhatt, Advocate for petitioner. Mr. H.M. Raturi, Standing Counsel for State of Uttarakhand. 13th October, 2009 Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. Heard Mr. R.C. Joshi, Advocate holding brief of Mr. Vijay Bhatt, Advocate for petitioner and Mr. H.M. Raturi, Standing Counsel for State of Uttarakhand. This petition was filed by the petitioner challenging his transfer order, which was passed in the year, 2001. An interim order was also granted in this case on 1.8.2001, by which the relieving of the petitioner was stayed. Pleadings in this matter have already been exchanged. However at this stage, Mr. H.M. Raturi, learned Standing Counsel has stated that the matter pertains to the year, 2001, in which an interim order has been passed on 1.8.2001 and due to passage of time, the writ petition has become infructuous and cause of action in the writ petition no more survives. Moreover, by virtue of the interim order of this Court, the petitioner cannot be transferred to any other place even for the reasons of administrative exigencies. This is admitted fact that the petitioner had challenged the order of his transfer dated 30th July, 2001 and in the year, 2009, reasons for interfering in the said 2 order, no more survives. The service of the petitioner is a transferable service and he is likely to be transferred in future in case the administrative exigencies so demand. The interim order passed in favour of the petitioner would, however, frustrate this exercise in future. Hence the writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. No order as to costs. Interim order dated 1.8.2001 is also vacated. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 13.10.2009 Rathour
