Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Additional Advocate General, Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General 2 Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner is aggrieved by Annexure P-2, order of transfer. Annexure P-1 is the appointment order. It carries the condition that the petitioner is liable to work anywhere under the Panchayat Samiti. The present transfer is to another Panchayat under the same Samiti. Another ground is that the petitioner is appointed on contract basis. It is the condition attached to the contract of appointment itself that the petitioner has to work in any Panchayat under the Samiti. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, dismissal of the writ petition will not stand in the way of the petitioner making an appropriate representation, in case any other suitable vacancy is available. 2. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 19th December, 2011. (Justice Dev Darshan Sud), (ms/hl) Judge.
