IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.4487 of 2010 Date of Decision : March 15, 2010. Satnam Singh .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Vivek Salathia, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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, who is working as a Superintendent Grade-II in the Health and Family Welfare Department, Government of Punjab, impugns his transfer from Amritsar to Kapurthala. He is stated to be a physically challenged person to the extent of 70% disability. The wife of the petitioner is also suffering from permanent disability to the extent of 50%. Having remained posted at Amritsar for about 26 years, the petitioner has now been transferred to Kapurthala. He relies upon certain policy decisions to urge that when vacant post(s) is/are available at Amritsar, he ought not to have been transferred to Kapurthala. C.W.P.No .4487 of 2010 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at some length and after going through the policy decisions, I am of the considered view that no interference with the impugned transfer order is called for by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction. The petitioner has no indefeasible right to remain posted at Amritsar throughout his service career. However, as the petitioner is said to have represented the authorities through a legal notice dated 29.9.2009 (Annexure P-11), this writ petition is accordingly disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to pursue his representation/legal notice before the Administrative Authorities.
