Advocate for the State on advance coBy. RS ESPONDENT Shn‘ Subhash Yadav, counsel for the petitioner. ORAL ORDER (26 . 1 1 .2007) ' SUNIL KUMAR SINHA‘ J. Heard. ' The petitioner, who is working on the post of Patwari, has been Uansferred fmm,Chitrakotk(Old) to (New) Binta by order dated 29.09.2007. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order has been passed by the Sub Divisional Ohicer (Revenue), Jagdalpur, who is not a competent authority and the competent authority is Collector. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State argues that if the transfer is Within the same sub-division, the Sub Divisional O$cer would be the competent authority and if it is 2 W.P.(S).No. 7035 of2007 out of a sub-division, th€n the Collector would be the competsnt authority. I have considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the State. Clause 7 of the M.P. (C.G.) Land Record Manual deals with Transfer of Patwaris, which provides that a Patwari’may be transferred mm one circle to another in the same sub- division by the Sub Divisional Omcer and nom one sub- division to another by the Collector. It is admitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that this is a transfer in the same sub-division. In View of the above, there appears to be no jurisdich'onal error in the order. No other point has been raised. l do not find any irregularity in the order, which may require interference by this Court. The petiu'on is not worth admission and the same is dismissed at the motion stage itself. Shyna f i i f Sd/- i‘ Sunil Kumar Sinha Judge
