CWP No. 15860 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 15860 of 2008 Date of decision: September 8, 2008 Parveen Chander Kaura --- Petitioner Versus Union of India and others ---- Respondents CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ashutosh Mohunta Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. Aman Bansal, Advocate, for the petitioner Ashutosh Mohunta, J. Challenge in this writ petition is to the order dated 15-12- 2007 ( annexure P2), vide which the petitioner has been transferred from Ambala SSA to Rewari SSA. Notice of motion. On our asking, Ms. Ranjana Shahi, Central Government Standing Counsel accepts notice. The petitioner has been transferred as far back as on 15-12-2007 but has not joined his place of posting till date. Counsel submits that the petitioner has already moved a representation and an appeal against the order of his transfer and has not joined the new place of posting because the same have not been decided so far. After hearing counsel for the parties, we find that by not joining the new place of posting at Rewari, the petitioner has in fact CWP No. 15860 of 2008 2 evaded the consequences of the transfer orders for almost nine months. In view of the above, we find no ground to interfere in the impugned order ( annexure P2). The writ petition is dismissed. We direct respondents No.2 & 3 to consider the desirability of initiating action against the petitioner in case he has remained willfully absent from duty from the date of his transfer till joining.
