W.P. No. 1186 of 2004 (S/S) Hon. P.C. Pant, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. By means of this writ petition, transfer order dated 08.10.2004 passed by respondent No. 2 has been challenged by the petitioner. The transfer is an exigency of the service. The impugned order of transfer appears to have been passed in the public interest The petitioner is posted at Gopeshwar for last 12 years and the only ground on which the impugned order of transfer is challenged is that the petitioner is being transferred in the mid term. Merely for that reason the Court cannot interfere in the matter of transfer order, unless the order is malafide, which does not appear to be the case here. In the facts and circumstances of the case, this writ petition is devoid of merits and the same is dismissed in limine. With the observation that petitioner way make representation before dep. authorities. Sd/- Dt. 15.10.2004 HN
