CWP No.20193 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No.20193 of 2011 Date of decision: 2.11.2011 Bhag Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). The petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing of impugned order dated 21st October, 2011, whereby he has been transferred from Industrial Training Institute, Sangrur to Industrial Training Institute, Dhuri. Learned counsel submits that in view of the instructions issued by the government, the petitioner is entitled to be retained at his present place of posting as he has to superannuate after fourteen months. He further submits that the transfer order has caused unnecessary hardship to the petitioner. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. A perusal of the transfer order shows that petitioner was earlier posted at Nabha and was later transferred to Sangrur. By way of the impugned order, he has been transferred from Industrial Training CWP No.20193 of 2011 2 Institute at Sangrur to that at Dhuri. Admittedly, distance between the two places is not much. The instructions sought to be relied upon by the learned counsel are in the nature of guidelines. It needs no reiteration that transfer is not only an exigency of service but an incidence of service. I, thus, find no ground to interfere in writ jurisdiction of this court. Dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 2.11.2011 'rajpal'
