Gurpreet Kaur .....Petitioner versus The State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Ramandeep Singh Pandher, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, DAG, Punjab. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) Notice of motion to respondent Nos.1 & 2 only at this stage. Ms.Sudeepti Sharma, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on their behalf. Let two copies of the writ petition be supplied to the learned State counsel during the course of day failing which the order shall be automatically recalled and the writ petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed for non-prosecution. In view of the nature of order which I propose to pass, neither there is any necessity to seek counter-reply from respondent Nos.1 & 2 nor respondent No.3 is required to be served at this stage. CWP No.17410 of 2011 [2] The petitioner who is working as a Punjabi Mistress in the Education Department, Government of Punjab, has been transferred from Government High School, Mann, District Muktsar to the Government High School (Girls), Farilka vide the impugned order dated 26.7.2011 (Annexure P-1). The petitioner alleges that the transfer order has been issued in order to harass and humiliate her husband who is a social activist. It is also averred that the petitioner would suffer extreme hardship as the new place of posting is about 100 kilometers away from her matrimonial home. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the fact that the transfer is an incidence of service and ordinarily it calls for no interference by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction, but at the same time, leaving it open for the competent authority to sympathetically consider the petitioner's request, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to submit a representation to respondent Nos.1 & 2 who in turn are directed to consider the same sympathetically and post her near to her matrimonial home. An appropriate order be passed within a period of one month from the date of receiving the representation. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 16, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
