No. 203 of 2004 (S/B) Dr. Triloki Nath Singh ……… Petitioner Versus State of Uttaranchal & others ……… Respondents Mr. Sudhir Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. K.P. Upadhyaya, learned Brief Holder on behalf of State. Hon. P.C. Verma, A.C.J. Hon. P.C. Pant, J. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has challenged the transfer order dated 25.6.2004 passed by respondent No. 2, which is contained in Annexure 5 to the writ petition. We have heard Mr. Sudhir Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State. The petitioner was appointed as Medical Officer in the Department of Ayurvedic and Unani Services on 28.2.1992 and joined his duty on 25.3.1992. Since the date of appointment, the petitioner served at the place from where he has been transferred now. By the impugned order dated 25.6.2004, the petitioner has been transferred from Kwerela, Almora to Thati Dagar, District Tehri Garwhal. From the perusal of the transfer order, it is evident that this transfer order dated 25.6.2004 has been passed in the public interest. No malafide has been alleged in the writ petition. Since, the transfer order has been passed in the public interest, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the impugned order dated 25.6.2004. However, petitioner shall be at liberty to make a representation to the Authority concerned and if such a representation is made, that shall be decided by the Authority concerned within 10 days. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed in limine. (P.C. Pant, J.) (P.C. Verma, A.C.J.) Dt.14.07.2004. G
