1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA LPA No. 344 of 2011 Date of decision: 28.10.2011 Radha Devi .. Appellant Versus State of H.P. & others ..Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, Judge. For the appellant : Mr. Lovneesh Kanwar, Advocate. For the respondents : Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General for respondents No. 1 to 3. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) Appellant is the petitioner in the writ petition. Issue pertains to transfer. The main ground taken by the appellant- petitioner is that she had worked in the sub cadre area and again she has been transferred to a sub cadre area. 2. The learned Single Judge dismissed the writ petition also observing that the petitioner has remained within the radius of 8 kilometers since her initial appointment. It is pointed out that Burna, where the appellant-petitioner worked ever since 2007, was a sub cadre area and only in the year 2009, it has been declared as a non sub cadre area. Be that as it may. The place, 2 where the appellant-petitioner has been working, namely, the Government Primary School, Kandha, is still vacant. It is not stated in the reply that anybody is posted to that place. Since the academic session is midway, it is made clear that the appellant- petitioner shall be permitted to continue at Government Primary School, Kandha and in case she is to be transferred thereafter, she shall be preferentially accommodated in a non sub cadre area, subject to the availability of vacancy. 3. With these observations, the appeal is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice (Justice Surinder Singh), October 28, 2011. Judge (hl/priti)
