(oral) Order. By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has laid challenge to the order Annexure P-5, vide which her transfer from Indri to Karnal was cancelled. Records reveal that vide order dated September 4, 2007, Annexure P-4, the petitioner was transferred from Indri to Government Senior Secondary School, Model Town, Karnal. Admittedly, distance between Indri and Karnal is 20 Kms. It is not disputed before us that the petitioner has not completed five years of service in a rural area to make her eligible for transfer to an urban area, as envisaged in the policy , framed by the State of Haryana with regard to effecting transfer of its employees. Counsel for the respondent states that when the matter was taken up by the Court on November 5, 2007, it was wrongly stated by the petitioner that she has not been relieved from her School in Karnal, where CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 17009 OF 2007 -2- she was posted. It has been brought to our notice that she was relieved on November 4, 2007. Be that as it may, distance between Indri and Karnal is 20 Kms. only. Transfer is a consequence of service. Petitioner has shown no malafide on the part of the respondents to cancel her transfer. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed. ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge ( Jaswant Singh) January 14, 2008.
