Dated of Decision: July 23, 2009. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dharam Singh. ……… Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. and others. …….. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, Judge. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? No. For the Petitioner : Mr. M.C. Verma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. R.M.Bisht, Deputy Advocate General. Deepak Gupta,J (oral) : By means of this writ petition, the petitioner, who is working as Store Clerk in the Irrigation & Public Health Department has challenged his transfer from Sub-division Nihri to Sub-division Dharampur. In the transfer order in question, it has been stated that the petitioner shall not be entitled for usual TTA and joining time as admissible under the rules. The stay order was granted on 6.9.2007. Admittedly, the petitioner by now has completed the normal tenure of three years at Nihri. - 2 - Therefore, the petitioner has no right to claim to remain posted there any longer. From the reply filed by the State, it is apparent that the petitioner was not posted at his own request. Therefore, we see no reason why the usual TTA and joining time, was declined. In view of the aforesaid facts, we dispose of the writ petition by holding that as far as the transfer is concerned, the same has become infructuous. Stay order is vacated. However, a direction is given to the State that the TTA and emoluments equivalent to the joining time be paid within six weeks from today to the petitioner. All pending applications are accordingly disposed of. (Deepak Gupta) Judge (Surinder Singh) Judge July 23, 2009. (Pds)
