CW 639/10 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Civil Writ Petition No.639/2010 Babulal Meena Versus State & Ors. Date of Order : 25/02/10 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Shree Swami, for petitioner Petitioner while serving as Office Assistant on being transferred from Govt. Senior Secondary School, Dadabari Kota to Govt. Girls Senior Secondary School, Ramganj Mandi KOta vide order dt.09/12/2009 (Ann.3) preferred appeal-1899/2009 which was rejected by learned Tribunal vide judgment dt.04/01/10 (Ann.4). Counsel submits that in a very short span, petitioner has been transferred vide order impugned, which cannot be said to be in the interest of administration since he has been posted at Ramganjmandi only to accommodate respondent-5. However, it has not been disputed by Counsel that petitioner has remained posted in Kota for sufficient long time and prior to present transfer impuged, he was in the office of District Education Officer (Training), Kota for more than five years and even under order impugned, he has been transferred to Ramganj CW 639/10 //2// Mandi within district Kota at a distance of 100 kms, as having been taken note of by learned Tribunal in the judgment dt.04/01/10. In the opinion of this Court, submission made by Counsel is without substance for the reason that if the petitioner has been transferred in the interest of administration or in exigency of service keeping in view his long posting at one place, certainly some one is going to be transferred vice him, which cannot be considered to be arbitrary. Transfer is an incidence of service and no employee can claim as a matter of right to retain lien at the place of his choice. It is also not the case of petitioner of having alleged any malice against the authority which has passed the order impugned or having asserted violation of statutory rules. This Court has gone through the material on record and does not find any manifest error being committed, which may call for interference. Consequently, writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed.
