JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. N.D.Achint, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Harish Rahtee, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana for the respondent Nos. 1 to 3. Mr. Shalender Mohan, Advocate for the applicant-respondent No. 4. -.- Jasbir Singh, J(Oral) CM No. 391 of 2008 C.M.is allowed. Written statement filed on behalf of respondent No.4 is taken on record. C.W.P. No. 17523 of 2007 Petitioner was transferred from Gurgaon to Panchkula vide order dated 13.11.2007 on administrative grounds. On 19.11.2007, the following order was passed by this Court:- Notice of motion for 14.01.2008. In the meantime, operation of the impugned order (Annexure P-1) shall remain suspended.” In response to the notice, reply has been filed on behalf of respondent No.4, wherein it has been stated that the petitioner had filed a civil suit on 14.11.2007, laying challenge to his transfer order dated 13.11.2007. He CWP No. 17523 of 2007 -2- also moved an application for getting interim stay, which was declined. In that suit, notice was issued to respondent No.4 for 22.11.2007. Copy of the notice has been shown to us in Court and has also been annexed with written statement as Annexure R4/3. It has also been stated in the written statement that before order dated 19.11.2007 was passed by this Court the petitioner was relieved from Gurgaon and this fact was also not mentioned in the present writ petition. To say so, reliance has been placed on Annexure R4/2, which shows that the respondent had joined on 14.11.2007 (F.N.) at Gurgaon. Perusal of the writ petition shows that the petitioner has not made a slightest reference to his filing of suit. By doing so, he has made an attempt to mislead this Court. Such an act, on the part of a government official, is not appreciable. The suit was withdrawn on 19.11.2007 after getting stay from this Court, on the same day. The petitioner has made an attempt to overreach this Court which we deprecate. In view of facts mentioned above, we dismiss this writ petition and burden the petitioner with costs of Rs. 10,000/- Respondent No.3 is directed to recover that amount from the petitioner, by making deductions from his salary for the next month. Amount so deducted be deposited with the Government towards costs. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 14.1.2008 (Jaswant Singh) mk Judge
