CW 9510/10 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Civil Writ Petition No.9510/2010 Narendra Kr. Dhotiya Versus State & Ors Date of Order ::: 26/07/2010 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Tarun Jain, for petitioner. Instant petition has been filed assailing the order dt.20/06/2010 (Ann.1) whereby while holding the post of Teacher, the petitioner was transferred from Durgpur to Jhalarapatan (Jhalawar). However, it has not been disputed that petitioner has been working at Durgpur for last more than 11 years and the place where he has been posted vide order impugned is at a distance of 45 kms. The competence of the authority which has passed the order impugned is not challenged. However, Counsel submits that the petitioner is going to retire on 30/04/2011; and there are certain guidelines of the State Government that those who are at the verge of retirement should not be disturbed. A bare perusal of the order impugned discloses that under the scheme of rationalisation and taking note of policy decision of the State Government in maintaining ratio of students and teachers, certain decision has been taken to transfer teachers from one place to the other. CW 9510/10 //2// Once the petitioner having remained posted at one place for last more than 11 years, he cannot claim a lien as a matter of right to continue at the place of his choice till the age of superannuation. Transfer is an incidence of service and in absence of any malice being imputed or violation of statutory rules being alleged, this Court is not ordinarily supposed to interfere in the orders of transfer of an employee if passed in the interest of administration. As regards submission made by Counsel that petitioner is going to retire on 30/04/2011, suffice is to say that administrative orders cited by Counsel are merely guidelines issued by State government having no statutory force and it is always open for the authority to consider and not for this Court to examine within the limited scope of judicial review U/Art.226 of the Constitution of India; as such is not inclined to entertain the petition. Consequently, writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed. (Ajay Rastogi), J. K.Khatri/p.2/ 9510CW2010July26TrnsDs.doc
