CWP 6263 of 2010. 14.12.2010 Present: Mr. Dilip Sharma, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Ramesh Thakur, Asstt. AG, for respondents 1 and 2. Mr. Amit Chandel, counsel for respondent No. 3. Heard and gone through the record. Petitioner is aggrieved by his transfer to Keylong, headquarter of Lahaul & Spiti District, as Superintendent, Grade I, in Social Justice and Empowerment Department. Earlier also, petitioner remained posted at Keylong, for an year or so, after he was promoted as Superintendent, Grade I. His contention is that he is suffering from Pulmonary Tuberculosis, acute Spondylosis and Hypertension, due to which it will be very difficult for him to live at Keylong, a place with very high altitude. In reply, it has been stated by respondents 1 and 2 that earlier, petitioner managed to get himself transferred from Keylong, after a short stay of 10 to 11 months. In rejoinder, petitioner has placed on record the order of transfer, which says that he had been transferred from Keylong to Bilaspur, in public interest. Petitioner represented to the respondents, for canceling his transfer to Keylong and submitted medical papers, along with his representation. His representation -2- had been rejected, on the ground that papers, submitted with the representation, are issued by a private medical practitioner. After hearing the counsel for the parties and perusing the record, writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondents 1 and 2, to get the petitioner examined from a Medical Board, to be constituted, on their request by the Chief Medical Officer and in case the Medical Board gives the opinion that the petitioner, on account of his medical condition, be not sent to Keylong, or any other place of high altitude, he shall be adjusted at some other place. The entire exercise shall be completed within one month from today. Two copies of this order be made available to the learned Assistant Advocate General, today itself, who will send the same to respondents 1 and 2, by tomorrow, positively. December 14, 2010(PC).
