IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No. 2902 of 2010. Decided on: June 3, 2010. Sewa Ram ….. Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. & ors. …… Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Sharma, Judge. For the petitioner : Mr. L.N. Sharma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner is aggrieved since he is transferred from Nihari to Patwar Circle Bhojnagar. One of the main contention is that the petitioner has left less than two years to retire from service. It is seen that the petitioner has one year and ten months left in service. It is also not in dispute that the petitioner has completed normal tenure at the present station. All the same, we are of the view that in view of the impending retirement, it is only appropriate that as far as possible, the petitioner is accommodated in his place of choice. The petitioner may indicate three places of his choice where the vacancies exist, in which case, steps will be taken to post the petitioner in any one of the places, so indicated, subject to the vacancy. Needful in this regard shall be done within a period of two weeks from the date of 2 production of copy of this judgment along with copy of the writ petition along with appropriate representation before the second respondent within one week from today. In case the petitioner has not been relieved as on today, proceedings in that regard will be deferred, till orders are passed as above. 2. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy Dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice June 3, 2010. ( Justice V.K. Sharma ), (ks/vs) Judge.
