IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6703 of 2008 EJAZ SHOAIB HASHMI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4. 20.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The allegation was of transfer seven times in the span of two years to support the submission of arbitrariness and malafide. The counter affidavit admits five transfers within two years. This Court considers the same as sufficient justification to allow the writ application by quashing the order dated 2.4.2008. Transfer is an incident of service, but, the power is not to be exercised in a manner to reflect arbitrariness and capricious attitude. The order dated 2.4.2008 is quashed. The writ application stands allowed. This shall, however, not inhibit the Respondents in future exercise of their powers of transfer in accordance with law and Government procedures.
