IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.15638 of 2011 Date of Decision : August 25, 2011. Parveen Kumar .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.N.P.S.Mann, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is working as a Panchayat Secretary in the Department of Rural Development and Panchayat, Punjab and is due for retirement w.e.f. 28.2.2013 on attaining the age of superannuation. He seeks quashing of the order dated 27.7.2011 (Annexure P-2) vide which he has been transferred from Block Valtoha District Amritsar to Block Sultanpur Lodhi, District Kapurthala. It is averred that the new place of posting is about 90 kilometers away from the residence of the petitioner, which is likely to cause extreme hardship to him and his family. In my considered view, transfer being an incidence of service, no interference by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction is called for. The petitioner, if so advised, may approach respondent No.2 for redressal CWP No.15638 of 2011 [2] of his grievances. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider the request of the petitioner for cancellation of his transfer sympathetically and pass an appropriate order to post him at a nearby place if possible and if there are no compelling administrative reasons to transfer him at a far away place. The appropriate order shall be passed within a period of one month. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 25, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
