IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 18781 of 2008 Date of Decision: 10.11.2008. Bijender Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana & others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present : Mr. Sushil Jain, Advocate, for the petitioner. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? HEMANT GUPTA. J. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondents No.7 and 8, i.e. the General Manager, Department of Industries and Inspector in the office of Firms and Societies, Sonepat are giving threats to the petitioner to give an affidavit in favour of respondent No.8 in an FIR registered by Vigilance Bureau at the instance of the petitioner under Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. If the petitioner is apprehensive of any threat at the hands of respondents No.7 and 8, the petitioner has adequate remedy of taking recourse provided under the Code of Criminal Procedure by lodging a complaint before the Senior Superintendent of Police or such other mechanism contemplated thereunder. The petitioner has claimed transfer of respondent No.7, who is allegedly threatening the petitioner. We do not find any merit in the said argument as CWP No. 18781 of 2008. (2) the petitioner has no right to seek transfer of en employee on the basis of threat. It is for the superior administrative officers to consider and pass an appropriate order keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case. In view of the said fact, we do not find any ground to interfere in the writ jurisdiction and the writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. Dismissed.
