By virtue of the interini order the petitioner is continuing at the original place ofposting. Be that as it may, with the pa^sage of time this petition has become infiTictoous as period of transfer is not applicable forever. At this poict oftime, there is ao question to examine the validity of the transfer order. However, the respondents are at liberty to pass appropriate order keeping in view tfte puMic interest aad admimstrative exigency, without insisting on compliance ofthe impugned transfer order. It is well settled principle of law that transfer is an mcident of serviee and it is for the employer to decide as to where a particular ofBcer/employee be posted, keepmg in view pubfic interest as well as admiaistrative exigency. This Court has limited jurisdiction to interfere in the transfer matter and this Court can interfere only in the case ofproved malafide, non- competence of authority passing the transfer order and transfer order not being in conformity with the rules and reguiations. In view ofthe above, this petition stands disposed of. No order as to costs. Sd/- Satish K. Agnihotri Judge Amit
