IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No. 3108 of 2010. Date of decision: 29.12.2010 Nirmal Kamal …. Petitioner Versus State of H.P. & anr. ….. Respondents Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, J. Whether approved for reporting ? No For the petitioner: Ms.Ranjana Parmar, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr.Ramesh Thakur, Dy.AG for respondent No.1. Mr.Vikas Bhardwaj, counsel for respondent No.2. Deepak Gupta, J. By means of this petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 4.6.2010 whereby she has been transferred from Government College, Kotshera, Shimla to Government College, Ghumarwin, District Bilaspur. The main allegation of the petitioner is that she has been transferred to accommodate the respondent No.2, Anil Kumar. The State in its reply has not denied the fact that the transfer of the petitioner had been ordered due to the representation made by Anil Kumar, respondent No.2 against his transfer from Shimla to Ghumarwin. In the reply, it is stated that the respondent No.2 had firstly served at Chamba then at Sarkaghat and had been posted at Shimla in the year 2008. Since the petitioner had not completed his normal tenure at Shimla, his representation was accepted and the petitioner who had spent 5-6 years at Shimla was ordered to be transferred to Ghumarwin. Ms.Ranjana Parmar, learned counsel for the petitioner urges that the husband of the petitioner is posted in a different area, i.e., Sangrah and the daughter of the petitioner is studying in +2 and since this year is the last formative year of her daughter’s education, she may be adjusted at Shimla. This is something which the Department will have to consider and this Court cannot issue directions in this regard. Therefore, liberty is given to the petitioner to file representation to the Principal Secretary (Education) to the Government of Himachal Pradesh. In case such representation is filed on or before 10.1.2011, the Principal Secretary (Education) shall take a decision thereon latest by 31.1.2011. The petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. No order as to costs. December 29, 2010 (Deepak Gupta) (m) Judge
