The petitioner by this petition challenges the order of transfer as also the notification on the basis of which the transfer is effected. 2. The contention is that computation by length of service at a particular station in different cadres of the service is partial and discriminatory and therefore, circular and the consequential order of transfer is liable to be quashed. We are unable to accept this contention for the reason that the petitioner and similar other persons have acquired by their merit higher promotional post while working in the lower ranks of the service. As a consequence of which - 2 - they have reached the stage where they are liable to be considered for promotion to that higher post anywhere in India. It cannot be said that such policy is in any manner unconstitutional or arbitrary. Hence, petition is rejected. (V.G. PALSHIKAR, J.) (V.G. PALSHIKAR, J.) (V.G. PALSHIKAR, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M.
