IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA C.W.P. No. 2879 of 2010 Decided on: 15th July, 2010. Om Parkash Thakur ….Petitioner Versus State of HP & ors …Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajiv Sharma, Judge. For the Petitioner: Mrs. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate For Respondent No.1: Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. For Respondent No. 2: Mr. H.K. Paul, Advocate __________________________________________________________ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) Petitioner is aggrieved since he is disturbed at the instance of the second respondent, who is only contract teacher. Though learned counsel for the second respondent submitted various justifiable and reasonable grounds for transfer, in view of our judgment in CWP No. 3437 of 2010, Anuradha Garg Vs. State of H.P. and others, wherein we have made it clear that a contract teacher cannot be transferred so as to disturb a regular teacher, this contention cannot be appreciated. We have made it clear that a contract teacher can be transferred to any of the available vacancies. In that view of the matter, the impugned order is set aside without prejudicing the liberty to the second respondent to point out vacant places in which case, action shall be taken to accommodate the second respondent in one of the places, pointed out by her. Needful shall be done within a period of two weeks from the receipt of the representation from the second respondent. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any.
