CWP No.4600 of 2009. 8.12.2009. Present: Mr. Rakesh Kumar Dogra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Addl. Advocate General, with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. Advocate General, for respondents No.1 to 3. With the consent of the parties, this petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. Petitioner was appointed as Lecturer (Electronics) at Government Boys Senior Secondary School, Chamba on 29th October, 1996 on contract basis. He was regularized on 30th December, 2008. He has been transferred from Government Boys Senior Secondary School, Chamba to Government Senior Secondary School, Dalash, District Kullu on 21st November, 2009. He has worked at Chamba for more than 13 years. The period of contractual appointment is to be counted while considering the incumbent for transfer. There is no merit in the submission of Mr. Rakesh Kumar Dogra that the petitioner has worked only for a period of ten months at Chamba after regularisation. The entire period the petitioner has served at Chamba is to be taken into consideration at the time of transfer. The petitioner has neither alleged mala fides against the respondents while transferring him nor has pointed out violation of any statutory provisions of law. The transfer is incident of service. In these circumstances, this Court will not exercise its extra-ordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. CMP No.8257 and 8258 of 2009. In view of the dismissal of the writ petition, both the applications are also dismissed. (R.B. Misra), ACJ. 8th December, 2009. (Rajiv Sharma), J. (tr)
