HC Kaur Singh and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.D.K.Kaushal, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners are working as Head Constables in the Punjab Police. They have been ordered to be transferred from District Faridkot to Mansa, in order to “adjust” the private respondents No.6 to 15. Prima-facie no rationale or administrative interest is discernible from the impugned order dated 5.5.2010 (Annexure P-1). Since the issue involved demands a fair and just policy to be dedicated to the cause of the police force, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition at this stage with a direction to the Officers' Committee consisting (i) Shri Parag Jain, IPS, IGP/Head Quarters, Punjab Police; (ii) Smt.Gurpreet Kaur Deo, IPS, DIG, Administration, Punjab Police Headquarters; and (iii) Shri M.S.Gill, Additional Advocate General, C.W.P.No .8663 of 2010 2 Punjab, constituted by this Court vide an order dated 4.3.2010 passed in C.W.P.No.566 of 2010 (Ranjit Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others), to consider and redress the grievances of the police personnel like the petitioners in this writ petition by laying down the specific guidelines0incapable of any mi-use at the so called discretion of the implementing authority. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the Officers Committee to re-consider the whole issue and lay down the criteria for Inter-District transfer of the police force within the para-meters indicated above. Till such guidelines are implemented, the operation of the impugned order dated 5.5.2010 (Annexure P-1) shall remain stayed. Dasti. May 12, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
