Verma and Mr. Anil Jaswal, Deputy Advocate Generals, for the respondents. The petition is directed against the transfer order dated 30th June, 2008. The precise case of the petitioner is that he has been posted outside the division. We have gone through the Recruitment and Promotion Rules placed on record vide Annexure A-2. The appointment of the petitioner is within the division level. Mr. J.K. Verma, learned Deputy Advocate General, vehemently argued that Recruitment and Promotion Rules have been diluted vide Annexure R-II dated 4th March, 2002. Once the Recruitment and Promotion Rules have been framed under Article 309 of the Constitution of India, they cannot be supplanted by executive instructions. In order words, the executive instructions can only supplement and cannot supplant. The executive instructions cannot be issued contrary to the Recruitment and Promotion Rules. In view of the observations made hereinabove Annexure A- 1, dated 30th June, 2008, qua the petitioner is quashed and set aside. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Interim order dated 8th July, 2008 shall stand vacated forthwith. CMP(T) No.527 of 2009. In view of the disposal of the writ petition, this application is also disposed of. (R.B. Misra), ACJ.
