WPSS No.725 of 2009 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Mr. Bhagwat Mehra, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Subhash Upadhyaya, Brief Holder for the State. The petitioner was a member of Border Cadre of Bheshaj Vikas Ikai, which was subsequently merged with the Horticulture Department on 18.12.2006. Since then, the petitioner was working in Bhimtal unit, which is a non-border area. For border areas, the places are Pithoragarh, Chamoli, Uttarkashi and Champawat Districts. By the impugned transfer order dated 03rd July, 2009, the petitioner has been transferred from Bhimtal to Champawat on the ground that he was initially from the border area and, therefore, he has been transferred to the border area. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that once the Bheshaj Vikas Ikai was merged / transferred with the Horticulture Department, the petitioner is no longer a member of the border cadre and becomes a member of the State cadre and therefore, cannot be transferred to the border area. Be that as it may. Once the petitioner becomes a member of the State cadre and, admittedly, he is on a transferable post, the respondents could transfer him to any place, including a border area. Consequently, on that ground itself, the transfer order does not suffer from any error of law. The writ petition fails and is dismissed. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) Dated 27.03.2010 LSR
