By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for writ of certiorari quashing the impugned transfer order 15.10.2005 passed by Respondent No. 1- Additional Secretary, Government of Uttaranchal, Dehradun (Annexure No. 15 to the petition). 2. The petitioner was transferred on 15.10.2005 from Govt. Inter College, Quansi, Tehsil Chakrata, District Dehradun to Govt. Inter College, Tuni district Dehradun. Accordingly to the petitioner, he could not be transferred expect he has complete normal duration of posting at one place for at least a period of one year. 3.

In the interest of justice, we feel it appropriate that the petitioner shall not be disturbed till the next annual transfer chain is made by the State Government. The petitioner shall be transferred as and when next annual general transfer is made by the State Government. However, in the next annual general transfer, the appropriate fresh transfer order of the petitioner would be passed and till then the stay order dated 17.12.2005 granted by this Court shall be allowed to continue. 6. With the aforesaid observation, the petitioner is disposed of finally. (B.C. Kandpal, J.) (P.C. Verma, J.) 03.04.2006 R. Dang
