IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL Civil Writ Petition No. 698 of 2005(S/S) Murlidhar Purohit S/o Sri Mayaram Purohit R/o 85 Rajpur Road Dehradun … Petitioner Versus 1. State of Uttaranchal through Principal Secretary Forest Uttaranchal Government Dehradun 2. Principal Chief Conservator of Forests Uttaranchal 85 – Rajpur Road Dehradun … Respondents Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. This writ petition has been filed for issuing a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari quashing the order of transfer dated 10.05.2005 (Annexure No. 1 to the petition). Brief facts giving rise to this petition are that the petitioner is working as Accounts Clerk in the office of Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Wild Life, Uttaranchal since July 2001 as a result of his attachment from Rajaji National Park, Dehradun. By way of transfer order No. F.O. No. 35/3-7 dated 10.05.2005 the petitioner was transferred to the office of Chief Conservator of Forests, Planning and Financial Management, Uttaranchal, Dehradun. Heard Sri P.C. Jhingan, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is working in the clerical cadre post hence he should not be transferred outside the circle because it affects the seniority of the person concerned. It has also been submitted that the petitioner is not giving his willingness to go anywhere except the office where he is presently posted. I do not find any malafide in the impugned transfer order. Learned counsel for the petitioner could not point out any manifest error of law in the impugned order of transfer. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed en-limine. (B.C. Kandpal, J.) 07.06.2005 ASWAL
