IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. (SS) 1084 of 2011 Amar Singh …Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand and another ….Respondents Present : Mr. Manish Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. H. M. Raturi, Learned Standing Counsel for the State. Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral) Heard Mr. Manish Arora, Advocate for the petitioner, and Mr. H. M. Raturi, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand. The petitioner is a government servant working as “Head Bandi Rakshak” in District Jail Roshnabad, Haridwar. The petitioner has challenged transfer order dated 23.07.2011 by which he has been transferred from District Jail Haridwar to District Jail Pauri Garhwal. It is clear from the transfer order that in compliance of order dated 22.07.2011 passed by Inspector General (Prison), Uttarakhand, Dehradun the petitioner has been transferred from District Jail Haridwar to District Jail Pauri Garhwal. The only ground for challenging the transfer order is that the transfer order does not disclose as to whether the petitioner has been transferred in public interest or on administrative ground. In fact the order impugned does not assign any reason. This argument of the petitioner is totally misconceived, as the absence of such a particular does not vitiate in any manner the transfer order. Transfer is an exigency of service. The grounds for interference by this Court are only limited. The Court normally would not interfere in the transfer order unless it suffers from mala fide or it has been passed without 2 jurisdiction or in violation of law. This not being the case at present, no interference is called for by this Court. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed and is hereby dismissed in limine. No order as to costs.
