Versus State of H.P. and another. …….. Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, Judge. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? No. For the Petitioner : Mrs. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.M.Bisht, Deputy Advocate General with Mr.Rajesh Mandhotra, Dy. Advocate General. Deepak Gupta,J (oral) : The petitioner had approached the erstwhile H.P. State Administrative Tribunal aggrieved by the transfer order whereby he was transferred to Dodra Kwar. The petitioner is working as a Beldar, which is the lowest post in the hierarchy of employees in the State. He was working in the office of Deputy Director, Horticulutre, Shimla. The establishment in which he was working was transferred to Dodra Kwar along with the post. Therefore the petitioner was also posted there. - 2 - The petitioner has challenged his transfer and the learned Tribunal had stayed the order of his transfer. On abolition of the Tribunal, the case has been transferred to this Court. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is only a Beldar and had been transferred to a far-flung area, we had issued oral directions to the learned Advocate General to consider his case sympathetically. Consequently, a supplementary affidavit has been filed by the Deputy Secretary (Horticulture), who has submitted that the post of the Beldar on which the petitioner was working has been transferred to Dodra Kwar and this post is required to be maintained at Dodra Kwar in the larger public interest. He has further submitted that at present there are two posts of Beldar lying vacant; one in the office of Bee-keeping Development Officer, Shimla at Samolipul and another in the office of Deputy Director of Horticulture, Shimla at Mashobra. Mrs. Ranjana Parmar, learned counsel for the petitioner has submits that the petitioner has no objection to his being posted at anyone of the aforesaid two places. - 3 - We, therefore dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to issue the posting orders of the petitioner to either of the two places within three weeks and the petitioner shall then join the place of his posting within the joining time granted to him. The petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. No orders as to costs. (Deepak Gupta) Judge (Surinder Singh) Judge June 25, 2009. (Pds)
