C.J.’s Court Civil Misc. Writ Petition No.29 of 2000 Jaspal Singh Grawal ............. Petitioner Versus U.P.S.R.T.C. through its General Manager (Karmik) U.P.Government, Lucknow and Others. ............. Respondents. Hon’ble A.A.Desai,A.C.J. Hon’ble M.C.Jain,J. The petitioner is working as driver in the respon- dent corporation. Initially from Rudrapur he was trans- ferred to Bijnor. On his request, this transfer was cancelled and he was brought back to Rudrapur. Subse- quently, by order dated 17.11.2000 he was transferred from Rudrapur to Haldwani. The petitioner has challenged this transfer mainly on the ground that he was the president of the union and in recent election he lost. Under the pressure of the elected president, the instant transfer has been effected. As such, the transfer is not in good faith. Undisputedly, the petitioner was at Rudrapur for more than five years. Therefore, he was due for transfer. In view of this, we do not entertain the grounds as canvassed. Moreover, the distance between Haldwani and Rudrapur as reported is only 34 kms. As such, it will cause no hardship to the petitioner. We are, therefore, not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to make representation to the authorities concerned for post- poning the effect of transfer impugned before us. If such representation is made, the authorities shall con- sider and decide the same expeditiously. With this observation, this writ petition is disposed of. Dated: November 22,2000.
