IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 20178 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 09th September, 2010. Zora Singh Petitioner through Mr. Harish Sharma, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents through Mr. H.S.Brar, Addl.AG, Punjab. Mr. Harsh Aggarwal, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] The petitioner is working as a Building Inspector in the Municipal Corporation. While posted at Ludhiana, it appears that he was charge-sheeted for an alleged grave negligence in the discharge of his duties. Though re-instated in service during the pendency of the inquiry, the petitioner was ordered to be transferred to Jalandhar. That transfer order was cancelled and later on he has been transferred to Bathinda. Aggrieved, the petitioner has approached this Court mainly on the ground that he is due for retirement in April, 2012. The respondents have filed their reply/affidavit. Learned counsel for the parties have been heard. In view of the fact that the petitioner is facing disciplinary action for the alleged negligence in performance of duties at Municipal Corporation, Ludhiana. The respondents are apparently justified in transferring him out side Ludhiana. However, keeping in view the family and other mitigating circumstances highlighted by the petitioner, ends of justice would be adequately met if the petitioner is transferred to some nearby Municipal Corporation. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 1 to reconsider and post the petitioner outside Ludhiana but at some nearby place. Disposed of. Dasti.
