CWP(T) No. 1758 of 2008. 24.10.2008. Present: Mr. Bhuvnesh Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. Advocate General, for respondent No.1. Mr. Ajay Dhiman, Advocate, vice Mr. Rakesh Chandel, Advocate, for respondent No.2. This writ petition is against the order of transfer. The petitioner was transferred from HP PWD Sub Division, Nadaun on secondment basis with Serve Shiksha Abhiyan, Nadaun, District Hamirpur as Assistant Engineer. The grievance of the petitioner is firstly that this is a post on deputation, therefore, the consent is required and the petitioner cannot be transferred without consent. Secondly, it has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the process for preparation of pension papers has already started as he is about to retire and his transfer will create problem for the petitioner. We have called upon the learned Advocate General, who has placed before us a notification dated 5th March, 2005. From the perusal of the same, it is crystal clear that there are six posts of Assistant Engineer in HP Public Works Department, which are given to Serve Shiksha Abhiyan as temporary ex-cadre posts and the petitioner has been transferred against one of such posts and it cannot be said that it is a matter of deputation. The petitioner remains in the Department and has been posted against one of the ex-cadre posts. We further find that the petitioner will remain in the city of Nadaun. Therefore, we are of the considered opinion that the petitioner, who is going to retire in few months cannot claim a particular posting and further a particular station of his choice. The third prayer of the petitioner is that if he goes and joins Serve Shiksha Abhiyan, he has to vacate the premises which is occupied by him. The interest of justice will suffice that in case the petitioner joins at the transferred post within seven days, he shall not be evicted from the premises till his retirement i.e. 31st March, 2009. It is clarified that if the petitioner fails to join within the aforesaid period, it would be open for the authorities to take necessary steps to evict him from the premises. The Department is directed to ensure that this shifting of the petitioner will not come in the way of the petitioner to get his pensionary benefits expeditiously at the time of his retirement i.e. 1st April, 2009. With the above observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. The interim order passed earlier is discharged. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J. 24th October, 2008. (Kuldip Singh), J. (tr)
