Dhyani, J. BARIN GHOSH, C.J. (ORAL) We are not inclined to interfere with the order of transfer dated 14th July, 2011, whereby and under, petitioner, a Class II officer of the State, holding the post of Agriculture & Land Conservation Officer, has been transferred from Kirtinagar, Tehri Garhwal to Uttarkashi. The fact remains that the petitioner was transferred to Kirtinagar, Tehri Garhwal on 4th July, 2007. Therefore, petitioner has completed more than three years normal tenure at Kirtinagar, Tehri Garhwal. Merely because the transfer order was effected beyond the normal time in the year when such transfers are effected, it cannot be contended that the transfer order is not enforceable. 2. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. (U.C. Dhyani, J.) (Barin Ghosh, C.J.) 01.12.2011 01.12.2011 Amit
