CWP No. 2734 of 2008. 11.12.2008 Present: Mr. Nimish Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General, for the respondents. CMP No.3921 of 2008. Allowed. CWP No.2734 of 2008. This writ petition is directed against the order of transfer of the petitioner from the office of Sub Divisional Officer, Chamba to Tehsil Office, Dalhousie against a vacant post. The learned Counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner has not completed three years at Chamba. Accordingly, this transfer is against the policy framed by the State. No other argument has been advanced. We find that the petitioner has been transferred in public interest. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in its various judgments has held that the High Court can show interference in the matter of transfers only where the transfer is in violation of law, arbitrariness and strong case of malafide. There is no such foundation in the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed, so also the pending application. (Jagdish Bhalla), C.J. December 11, 2008. ( Kuldip Singh ), J. (rc)
