:1: IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 6669 OF 2008 Shubhangi Shankar Gandhi ..Petitioner Vs. Director Health Service and ors. ..Respondents Mr. Rajesh Mirchandani i/by M/s. Paras Kuhad & Associates for petitioner. Ms. Priyadarshini A. Birje for respondent nos.2 and 3. CORAM: DR. D.Y. CHANDRACHUD,J. CORAM: DR. D.Y. CHANDRACHUD,J. CORAM: DR. D.Y. CHANDRACHUD,J. Date : December 03, 2008. Date : December 03, 2008. Date : December 03, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. The Industrial Court has furnished cogent reasons for declining relief against an order of transfer. The petitioner is a Public Health Nurse and has been transferred from Ratnagiri to Kalyan. Admittedly, the petitioner came to be transferred to Ratnagiri in September, 1997. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner fairly submitted that the petitioner was transferred to Ratnagiri on her request at that stage. 2. The petitioner was transferred on 31/5/2007 :2: from Ratnagiri to Sindhudurg but the order of transfer was cancelled on 11/9/2007 on a representation made by the petitioner. An employee in a transferable service cannot have any vested right to continue. The contention of the petitioner is that she is a widow. That is undoubtedly a relevant circumstance which has to be borne in mind by the Government in terms of Clause 8.1 of the GR dated 25/4/2005. The position of the petitioner was sympathetically considered when a request for transfer was granted to her in 1997 and even a request against a transfer in 2007 was taken into account and her transfer was cancelled. Otherwise, the same GR provides that an employee who completed 10 years of service within the area of one Panchayat Samiti would be liable to be transferred to another Panchayat Samiti. This is not a case where the Government has not taken any note of personal circumstance of the employee and the record would, in fact, show that the circumstances of the petitioner have been taken into account in the past. 2A. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent nos.2 and 3 has also placed on :3: record an F.I.R. dated 6/11/2008 lodged by the District Health Officer, Zilla Parishad, Ratnagiri - respondent no.3 regarding an incident where the petitioner is alleged to have been part of a mob of 15 persons who entered into office of the 3rd respondent and brutally assaulted him. A criminal case has been registered, inter alia, under Sections 143, 147, 357, 323, 504, 506 and 427 of Indian Penal Code. It would not be appropriate to express any view in respect of the alleged incident. 3. On am over all view of the facts of this case, the Industrial Court cannot be regarded as being in error in declining interim relief against an order of transfer. No case is made out to interfere in the impugned order. The Petition is accordingly dismissed. (Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud,J.) (Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud,J.) (Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud,J.)
