CWP 5812 of 2010. 3.12.2010 Present: Mr. G.R.Palsra, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Ramesh Thakur, Asstt. AG, for respondents 1 to 3. Petitioner has been appointed, on contract basis, as Panchayat Assistant, in Gram Panchayat, Bahva by Executive Officer, Panchayat Samiti, Gohar. Vide order dated 13.9.2010, Annexure P-2, he has been shifted to Gram Panchayat, Kandi Kamrunag. His grievance is that he may not be shifted, unless he has completed five years, at his present place of posting, in view of Guidelines, issued by the government, vide Annexure P-3. His plea is that he was appointed only in 2008 and, therefore, he cannot be transferred in 2010. In the reply, it is stated that it is the prerogative of the government to transfer any of its employees, in place of the other and that the guidelines, Annexure P-3 issued by the government, do not have any force of law. Petitioner has been shifted from one Panchayat to another Panchayat, by his appointing authority, i.e. the Executive Officer, Panchayat Samiti. No prejudice, on the part of respondents, has been shown, for transfer of the petitioner, from one Panchayat to the other. Hence, the petition is dismissed. December 3, 2010(PC). (Surjit Singh), J.
