IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13028 of 2009 BHARAT LAL, Son of Late Chdndra Bali, Resident of village- Taeyapur, P.S.-Pothia, District-Kishanganj ……….. Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, New Secretariat, Vikas Bhawan, Baily Road, Patna 2. Director (Primary Education), Human Resources Development Department, New Secretariat, Vikas Bhawan, Baily Road, Patna 3. District Superintendent of Education-cum-Sub Divisional Education Officer, Kishanganj ……………………… Respondents. ----------- 2. 04.01.2010 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the state. Petitioner has been transferred from Secondary School, Daula Hat within Pothia Block of the District of Kishanganj to the Secondary School, Kharna within Thakurganj Block by order contained in Memo No. 15 dated 16.01.2009 issued by the District Superintendent of Education-cum-Sub Divisional Officer, Kishanganj (respondent No. 3). In compliance of the impugned transfer order, petitioner has already joined the transferred school. However, his grievance is that the transfer order should be quashed for the reason that it has been issued by way of punishment making some allegations which cast stigma against the petitioner. On perusal of the impugned order, I find that it is a transfer order simplicitor. The impugned transfer order has been issued for administrative reasons. There is no question of casting any stigma against the petitioner. In case there would - 2 - have been some allegation against the petitioner, the respondents must had initiated a departmental proceeding against the petitioner for proving the charges, but nothing has been done. As such, the impugned transfer order can be treated simply as a transfer order issued for administrative reasons. There is no reason for quashing of the impugned transfer order. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. akv (Mridula Mishra, J.)
