IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.15458 of 2011 Date of Decision : August 24, 2011. Manjit Kaur .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Sunil Agnihotri, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is working as Multipurpose Health Worker (female). She has been transferred from P.H.C.Munak to P.H.C.Pakhowal, District Ludhiana vide impugned order dated 28.7.2011 (Annexure P-3). It is averred that the new place of posting is about 250 kilometers from the petitioner's matrimonial home. It is further averred that the petitioner is having the responsibility of two school going minor children as her husband is a chronic patient of kidney disease and the impugned transfer may cause hardship to her and her family. In my considered view, mere hardship is no ground to interfere with the transfer order by a Writ Court as the transfer is an incidence of CWP No.15458 of 2011 [2] service. The mitigating circumstances, if any, can be sympathetically considered by the Competent Authority. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to submit a representation for favourable consideration and for her posting near to her matrimonial home and if any such representation is made by the petitioner, the Director, Health Services and Family Welfare, Punjab, is directed to consider and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 24, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
