IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.13272 of 2010 Date of Decision : July 29, 2010. Surinder Singh Chinna .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Manoj Kumar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional Advocate General, Punjab. -.- 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) Notice of motion to respondent No.1 only at this stage. Mr.H.S.Brar, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on its behalf. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need to issue notice to respondent No.2 nor there is any necessity to seek any counter-reply from respondent No.1 at this stage. The petitioner is working as Head Draftsman in the Municipal Corporation, Amritsar. Vide the impugned order dated 20.7.2010 (Annexure P-11), the Director-cum-Special Secretary, Local Government, Punjab, has transferred the petitioner from Municipal Corporation, C.W.P.No .13272 of 2010 2 Amritsar to Municipal Corporation, Bathinda. The petitioner assails his transfer order primarily on the ground that his wife who is working as teacher in Government School in District Amritsar, is suffering with cancer and there is none to look after her. His wife is stated to be on long leave due to her ailment. If the facts and circumstances pleaded by the petitioner were to be true, it appears that the petitioner's transfer order requires re- consideration with full compassion and sympathy by the competent authority as it might help him to get proper treatment of his wife. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction that the petitioner may make a representation to respondent No.1 within a period of one week alongwith the relevant documents pertaining to the ailment of his wife and upon receiving the same, respondent No.1 shall consider the same sympathetically and pass an appropriate speaking order within a period of two months, on receipt of a certified copy of this order. Till then, the operation of the impugned transfer order dated 20.7.2010 (Annexure P-11) shall remain stayed and the petitioner shall be allowed to continue at Amritsar. Dasti.
