IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL WRIT PETITION NO. 1018 OF 2009 (SS) Bhoop Singh Rawat …………..Petitioner. Versus Registrar Co-operative Society, Secretariat, Dehradun, Uttarakhand and others. ………..Respondents. Mr. I.D. Paliwal, Advocate for petitioner. Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for State of Uttarakhand/respondents no. 1 and 2. 22nd October, 2009 Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. Heard Mr. I.D. Paliwal, Advocate for petitioner and Mr. N.P. Sah, Standing Counsel for the State of Uttarakhand/respondents no. 1 and 2. The petitioner is a Secretary in a Primary Agriculture Loan Society. The petitioner is aggrieved by his transfer order (Annexure -1 to the writ petition), whereby he has been transferred from Dobri to Campti in District Tehri Garhwal, however, there are no plausible ground of challenge, which may call for any interference from this Court. Transfer is an exigency of service, which only be challenged on two grounds A) if there is any statutory violation or B) if there is any malafide. None of these two grounds exists in the present writ petition. The petition is, therefore, wholly without merit and is liable to be dismissed. Moreover the impugned transfer order pertains to 10th July, 2009 and the writ petition has been filed after more than three months. There is also a document annexed to the writ petition (Annexure -4 to the writ 2 petition), which is a letter dated 5.9.2009 of Member Secretary of District Administrative Committee, Primary Agriculture Loan Cooperative Society, Central Service, Tehri whereby the petitioner was warned that in case he does not join the present place of posting immediately, his services shall be suspended. The petitioner has, therefore, prayed that since the suspension of the petitioner is imminent, some relief be granted to him. On the other hand this Court finds no anomaly in the order dated 5.9.2009 as the order has been rightly passed inasmuch as the petitioner has not complied with the transfer order dated 10th July, 2009. However, it is directed that in case the petitioner joins within one month from today his present place of posting i.e. Campti in district Tehri Garhwal, the petitioner shall not be suspended in view of the order dated 5.9.2009. With the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) 22.10.2009 Rathour
