IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No.: 594 of 2009. Date of decision: 20.4.2009 Surekha Devi … 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. For the petitioner: Mr. Bimal Gupta, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Deputy Advocate General. Per Deepak Gupta, J. (Oral) Record perused. Arguments heard. From a perusal of the records, it is clear that prior to Samaila, where the petitioner was working from 18th June, 2007, she was posted at Govt. Sr. Secondary School, Matyara and remained there from 11th January, 2005 to 18th June, 2007. According to the respondents, the distance between these two schools is only about nine kilometers. Therefore, effectively this will not amount to a transfer as the distance between the two stations is less than 25 kilometers. As such, we find no reason to interfere in the transfer order now passed by the State. 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? 2 Shri Bimal Gupta, learned counsel for the petitioner, points out that the husband of the petitioner is also working as a Trained Graduate Teacher and presently posted at a school about 40 kilometers away from Samaila. It is also alleged that the sister-in- law of the petitioner is bed ridden and has to be looked after by the petitioner and her husband and therefore, in case, petitioner and her husband are adjusted at one station they will be able to look after the ailing sister-in-law. This is the question not to be decided by this Court. Firstly, the petitioner shall join the place of posting and thereafter she and her husband may make a representation for transferring them at one station and in case such representation is made after the present petitioner has joined at the present place of posting then the respondent No.2 shall consider the representation and dispose of the same within four weeks from the receipt of the representation. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. Stay order is vacated. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. April 20, 2009, ( V.K Ahuja ), J. ™
