- 1 - S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4402/2008 DATE OF ORDER : 10/7/2008 HON'BLE JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr.Sanjay Mathur, for the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. According to facts,petitioner was initially appointed in the District Rural Development Agency, Jodhpur. As per petitioner DRDA has merged into Zila Parishad and even after absorption of services in Zila Parishad, provisions of Panchayat Raj Act and Rules are not made applicable, therefore, there is no jurisdiction left with the Deputy Secretary (Panchayati Raj) to transfer petitioner. It is very strange that petitioner is claiming right of absorption in Zila Parishad on the basis of merger of DRDA in Zila Parishad but at the same time he is raising voice that Deputy Secretary (Panchayati Raj) cannot transfer him. In my view, once the petitioner's services were absorbed as stated by him in the Panchayati Raj Department then obviously his services will be governed by Panchayati Raj Act and Rules. In these circumstances, I see no reason to interfere in this writ petition and the same is hereby dismissed. However, it is always open for the petitioner to make a representation before the authorities and authorities are expected to decide the same objectively . (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS),J . pankaj baweja
