Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. The transfer policy guidelines provide that transfer should be exempted to the persons who have completed 56 years as on 31.03.2009. In the instant case, the petitioner is not entitled for the benefit of exemption of transfer because he has not completed 56 years as on 31.03.2009 and would be completing 56 years in July, 2009 and that transfer was made as per the first option exercised by him. Hence, we do not find any illegality or infirmity in the order passed by the Tribunal in O.A.No.405 of 2009 dated 20.05.2009. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs.
