CWP No. 89/2011 09.03.2011 Present: Mr. Ajay Kumar Dhiman, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R. M. Bisht, Dy. A.G with Mr. Vinod Thakur, Dy. A.G. for respondents No.1 to 3 Mr. Hamender Chandel, Advocate, for respondent No.4 In terms of impugned order of transfer dated 29.11.2010 (Annexure P-1), petitioner stands transferred to GSSS, Jamni, District Mandi. It is the petitioner’s contention that persons having longer tenure are still serving and posted in the school at Ghumarwin. Respondents in their reply have categorically explained the circumstances under which the petitioner stands transferred to GSSS, Jamni, District Mandi from Ghumarwin District Bilaspur, ever since the petitioner’s appointment as a lecturer, he has been serving in his home district. It has been more than 15 years that he has been posted in his home district. He has never served outside his district. Even for the last 3½ years he has been serving in the vicinity of about 8 Kms. from his home. 2. Transfer is an incident of service. Post of Lecturer is a State cadre post. Transfer can be effected by taking into account the exigencies of administration. Scope of judicial review is limited. From the record, it could not be pointed out how the transfer is arbitrary or malafide. Simply because a person having longer tenure than the petitioner has been allowed to retain in the same school cannot be a ground in itself to hold that the action is arbitrary. Authorities have taken into account all aspects before passing the impugned order. I see no reason to interfere with the impugned order. However according to the petitioner his daughter has to undertake Class 10th examination which is to be held before 31st March, 2011. As of now private respondent Surinder Pal is working at GSSS, Jamni and petitioner is working at Ghumarwin. This is by virtue of court orders. This arrangement shall continue only upto 31st March, 2011 when petitioner shall hand over charge, failing which he shall be deemed to have been relieved from the said date. 3. With the aforesaid directions, petition stands disposed of. March 09, 2011 ( Sanjay Karol ), (rana) Judge.
