S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 6736/2007 Santosh Yadav Vs. State of Raj. & Ors. Date of Order :: 8.12.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR None present for the petitioner. Mr. J.S. Bhati, for the respondent No.5. ... By this petition for writ a challenge is given to the judgment passed by the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal in Appeal No.1787/2007 whereby the petitioner assailed validity of the order of transfer dated 27.8.2007. Learned Tribunal held that the State Government was competent to transfer the petitioner from one Panchayat Samiti to another, and therefore, no error was made by effecting transfer of the petitioner. In the petition for writ it is stated that transfer of the petitioner could have not been made by the State Government as the State Government does not possess such competence. I do not find any merit in the argument advanced as the competence to transfer an employee of Panchayat Raj Institution from one Panchayat Samiti to another is available with the State Government as per the provisions of Section 89 (8A) of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act, 1994. In view of it, the Tribunal rightly held that the State Government was competent to issue the order of transfer. No interference, therefore, is warranted under Article 226 or 227 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal '
