In case any employee wants to get himself transferred from one District to another Distt., he can only be transferred on his own request by loosing his seniority and he will not claim of his previous service of that District from where he is transferred. He will get seniority in the new District from the date of his joining as per service conditions laid down in the R&P Rules and transfer orders issued by the Divisional Commissioner, H.P. Shimla vide office order No.2-1/25/69-Commr. Dated 14.3.1975. Therefore, the OA of the applicant deserves to be dismissed with cost.” 3.
