CWP No.2849/2008. 08.01.2009 Present: Mr Rakesh Dogra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.R.K.Bawa, Advocate General with Mr.J.K.Verma, Deputy A.G., for respondents No.1 to 3. This writ petition is directed against the order of transfer of the petitioner from Dangri to Kot. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that private respondent is transferred from Bohli to Kot and within 24 hours her transfer order was cancelled and she has been posted in place of the petitioner and in the process petitioner has been transferred. It has been further submitted on behalf of the petitioner that it does not involve any public interest or administrative exigency, therefore, the transfer order of the petitioner is bad in law. The learned counsel has further stressed that petitioner’s transfer be quashed because one of his son is studying in +2 and his examination is approaching very fast. We are of the considered opinion so far as the examinations are concerned, it is up to the petitioner to approach his appointing authority for adjustment in case the Court passes any such order for adjustment, it would walk into the domain of the executive. The learned counsel could not substantiate how there is no public interest or administrative exigency on the basis of which the petitioner cannot be transferred. In fact, it is prerogative of the State Government to make adjustment of its employee and …2… transfer them either on the administrative ground, public interest or both. The petitioner has been transferred with the prior approval of the Government. We further find that the petitioner has already served more than two and a half years at Dangri. We have been further informed by the learned Advocate General that the petitioner remained posted within a radius of 25 kilometers for the last more than 4 years. Accordingly, we do not find that there is any violation of law or strong case of malafide on the basis of which we can show any interference. It would be open to the petitioner, if he so desires, he may approach the authority concerned through a representation for his adjustment for two months or till the examinations of his son are over. If such any representation is made, the same be considered expeditiously. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s). ( Jagdish Bhalla ), C.J.
