Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Karol, Judge. For the petitioner : Ms. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate For the respondents : Mr. R. K Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. A.G with Mr. J. K. Verma, Dy. A. G. for respondents –State. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) Petitioner is aggrieved by her transfer. The main grievance is on three counts – (i) the transfer is during the mid-academic session; her child is studying in 10th Standard and hence her transfer at this stage will adversely affect the educational prospects of the child; (ii) her husband is in Para-military forces and serving in the border area and there is none to look after the family; and (iii) in any case the transfer should not have been made to accommodate the third respondent, whose short stay is condoned and apparently, the transfer is made only to accommodate the third respondent. Prima facie, we find force in all the above submissions. However, it is for the second respondent to examine the matter on all the above submissions and any other submissions to be made by the petitioner. Petitioner may file an appropriate representation within three 2 days from today before the second respondent, in which case the second respondent shall look into the matter and all the aspects, we have particularly referred to above, and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law and justice within another ten days. Till orders, as above, are passed, the petitioner shall not be compelled to join the transferred station and it will be open to her to avail leave of the kind due. 3. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application (s), if any. Authenticated copy to the petitioner. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice.
