IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No. 8675 of 2011-H Date of decision: 21.11.2011 Ritu Sharma …..Petitioner Versus State of H.P. & others …..Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Karol, Judge. For the Petitioner : Mr. Anup Rattan, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K.Bawa, A.G. with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. A.G. and Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy.A.G. for respondents No.1 & 2 Ms. Archana Dutt, Advocate, for respondent No.3 Sanjay Karol, J. (Oral) Petitioner has prayed for the following relief: “This writ petition may kindly be allowed and writ of certiorari or any other writ which this Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case be passed against the respondents and impugned transfer order Annexure P-1 may kindly be set aside.” 2. Annexure P-1 is the order dated 21.9.2011, transferring Sh. Suresh Kumar Chawla, private respondent No.3 from Govt. College, Dharamshala to Govt. College, Una vice Smt. Ritu Sharma, instant petitioner. …2… 3. It cannot be disputed that petitioner has completed her normal tenure of posting at Una. Transfer is an incidence of service, Posting of an employee at a particular station based on administrative exigencies and considerations is the prerogative of an employer. 4. Sh. Anup Rattan, learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that impugned order of transfer is contrary to the policy of the State whereby mid academic session transfer is not permissible. The contention, as has been rightly argued by Ms. Archana Dutt, learned counsel for the private respondent, needs to be rejected. This policy applies only in case where wards of employees are studying in higher classes. Petitioner’s daughter is studying in primary school. 5. As such, we do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order. It cannot be said that impugned order suffers from any illegality/arbitrariness. As such, present petition stands dismissed. Interim order stands vacated. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. November 21, 2011 (Justice Sanjay Karol), (rana) Judge.
