IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 1687 (S/S) of 2005 Anil Kumar, son of late Sri Ballay Singh, Resident of Type - E, Quarter Collectorate, Compound Roorkee, District - Haridwar. .........Petitioner. V e r s u s. 1. State of Uttaranchal, through District Magistrate, Haridwar. 2. Sub Divisional Magistrate, Roorkee, District - Haridwar. ............Respondents. Hon'ble M.M. Ghildiyal, J.: Heard Sri Arvind Vashisht, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for State of Uttaranchal, who put in appearance on behalf of respondents no. 1 and 2. By means of this writ petition, petitioner has prayed to issue a writ in the nature of Certiorari quashing the impugned order Nos. 259 and 260 dated 16.09.2005 passed by respondent no. 2 i.e. Sub Divisional Magistrate, Roorkee, Haridwar. By the earlier order, the petitioner, who was working as Nayab Nazir and dealing with the issuance of caste certificate, has been attached with the office of Sub Divisional Magisrate, Roorkee, Haridwar on administrative ground and by latter order, the repondent no. 2 has sent this information to the District Magistrate, Haridwar that petitioner has been attached to his office on the administrative ground. The impugned order says that the petitioner is being transferred on administrative ground because the respondent no. 2 has received number of complaints against the petitioner in regard to issuance of caste certificate. The impugned order does not reduce the rank of the petitioner. It is a simple transfer order from one table to another table for the administrative efficiency. The Competent Authority can pass such order. I do not find any illegality in the impugned order. Writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) November 18, 2005 SK Sharma
