IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP (T) Nos. 3588 of 2008 and 430 of 2008 Date of decision: 29.5.2009. CWP(T) Nos. 430/08 and 3588/08 Dr. Joginder Singh Pathania … Petitioner. Versus State of H.P.. …Respondent 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. Bhuvnesh Sharma, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. R.K.Bawa, Advocate General with Mr.Ram Murti Bisht, Deputy Advocate General. Per Deepak Gupta, J. (Oral) Both these petitions are being disposed of together since common question of facts and law are involved in the same. The petitioner is an Ayurvedic Medical Officer. Vide OA No. 3698 of 2006 he challenged the order of his transfer dated 2.12.2006 whereby he was transferred from AHC Dogli to AHC Kugti District Chamba. The petitioner’s allegations are that on 28.1.2006 he was transferred from Dogli to Shimla and he joined duties at Shimla on 14.2.2006. On 24.2.2006 the petitioner was transferred from Shimla to Dogli, obviously at his own request. Thereafter, he was transferred to Chamba, which order he 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? Yes. 2 challenged. A stay order was granted in his favour on 26th December, 2006. During the pendency of the earlier petition, another order of transfer was passed whereby the petitioner was transferred from Dogli to Kandi Kashapat in District Shimla on 29th February, 2008. The petitioner challenged this order also which again was stayed vide order dated 4.3.2008. It is obvious that the petitioner has by now completed more than three years at Dogli. Even prior to his transfer to Shimla, the petitioner was at Dogli. Therefore, his stay at Dogli is much more than three years even after his re-transfer there. Therefore, nothing survives in these petitions and the same are accordingly dismissed. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. May 29, 2009 ( V.K Ahuja ), J. ™
