Mr.T.S.Chauhan, Advocate, for respondent No.4. Sanjay Karol, J. (Oral) Appellant Balbir Singh is aggrieved of the judgment dated 28.12.2010 passed by learned Single Judge of this Court in CWP No. 4876 of 2010, titled as Balbir Singh vs. State of H.P. 2. Appellant, who was working as Assistant Collector (Weights and Measures) stands transferred from Mandi to Shimla. He has unsuccessfully challenged the same before the learned Single Judge, who has rightly held that it is the prerogative of the State to post a particular employee at a particular place. No infraction of guideline/ policy 2 having statutory force, can be said to be committed by the State while undertaking such process. Even here nothing has been shown to the effect that transfer is actuated out of malice or is arbitrary or illegal in any manner. 4. Learned Single Judge has rightly directed the State to pay Transfer Travelling Allowance to the appellant. Hence the present appeal devoid of any merit is dismissed. (Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice 5th July, 2011 (Justice Sanjay Karol) (C) Judge.
