CWP No.24587 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ***** CWP No.24587 of 2011 Date of decision : 29.12.2011 Khushwinder Kumar ................Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and others .......Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.KANNAN Present:- Mr. Tribhavan Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner --- K.KANNAN, J (ORAL) :- The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that he has been ordered to be transferred on 23.12.2011 from Block Sanaur (Patiala) to Block Sidhwan Bet (Ludhiana). According to him, this transfer has been made to accommodate the 5th respondent-Ajaib Singh, who had been promoted and posted at Block Sanaur (Patiala) from Block Sidhwan Bet (Ludhiana), one month earlier and the present transfer has been made only to accommodate the 5th respondent at Block Sanaur (Patiala). According to the petitioner, this is against the transfer policy declared by the Government of Punjab itself. The policy guidelines do not give any vested right to any employee to seek for its compliance and these are at best guidelines to the Administration to follow as far as possible and there must be strongest reasons to make any deviation from the guidelines. The petitioner is at liberty to make a representation on the basis of the policy and any particular grievance that he may have, against the impugned order. CWP No.24587 of 2011 -2- The writ petition itself may also be treated as the petitioner's representation and if such representation is made to respondent No.1, the same shall be considered and the decision shall be taken within two weeks. Subject to this liberty, the writ petition is disposed of. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 29.12.2011 akm
