S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4262/2008. (DEEP CHAND VS. STATE & OTHERS) DATE OF ORDER : 14.08.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. R.C. Joshi for the petitioner. Mr. H.R. Chawla for the respondents. By this petition for writ, a challenge is given to the order dated 25.06.2008 passed by the Dy. Secretary to the Government of Rajasthan, Department of Panchayati Raj (Elementary Education) with a contention that as per provisions of Section 289 of Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996, the power of transfer rests with Panchayat Samiti or Zila Parishad concern on the recommendation of the District Establishment Committee and, therefore, the order bein passed by the Dy. Secretary to the Government of Rajasthan is bad. I do not find any substance in the arguments advanced as by the force of provisions of Section 89(8-A) of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Act read with Rule 290(2) of the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj Rules, 1996, the Government is competent to pass an order of transfer of an employee from one Panchayat Samiti to another. As such, the petition for writ is having no merit, therefore, the same is dismissed. If the petitioner is having any inconvenience, he may agitate his cause by submitting a representation before the competent authority. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
