IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No.: 1634 of 2008 Date of decision: 4.5.2009 Mast Ram … Petitioner. Versus State of H.P and others. …Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Deepak Gupta, J. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K.Ahuja, J. Whether approved for reporting?1 No. For the petitioner: Mr. Lokender Paul Thakur, Advocate. For the respondents 1 & 2: Mr. R.K.Bawa, Advocate General and Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Deputy Advocate General. Per Deepak Gupta, J. (Oral) By means of this petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 15.7.2008 whereby he has been transferred from Govt. (Boys) Sr. Sec. School, Ghumarwin to Govt. Sr. Sec. School Maharal. The grievance of the petitioner is that his transfer has been made only with the purpose of accommodating respondent No.3. According to the petitioner, respondent No.3 who was originally posted at Maharal was posted to Jhandutta and from there he has now managed his transfer to Ghumarwin in place of the petitioner. This allegation is being made on the ground that respondent No.3 has not been granted any TTA and joining time which shows that 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? yes 2 these transfers were made on his request. Even accepting that these transfers has been made out at the request of respondent No.3, there is nothing to show that the transfers are actually mala fide or have not been made in administrative exigencies. Every employee has a right to make a representation which the employer must consider and he may accept or reject the representation of the employee keeping in view the administrative exigencies. In the reply filed by the State, it has been clearly stated that the petitioner remained posted for five years at Ghumarwin from 2003 to 2008 and prior to that he was posted at Govt. Sr. Sec. School, Geharwin, and the distance between these two schools is less than 25 Kms. No employee has a right to stay at one place for his entire tenure. We, therefore, find nothing wrong or illegal with the orders passed. The petition being without any merit is dismissed accordingly. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. May 4, 2009, ( V.K Ahuja ), J. ™
