IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No.268 of 2008 (S/B) With Stay application No.7142/08 Dr. Jagdish Chandra Joshi, presently posted as Officer In- charge, Primary Health Center Okhalkanda, Tehsil-Dhari, District Nainital ........Petitioner. Versus The State of Uttarakhand through Secretary, Medical and Health Department, Uttarakhand, Dehradun and others. ...Respondents. Date 24th October 2008 Coram: Hon’ble Prafulla C.Pant, J. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. {Prafulla C. Pant, (Oral)} 1. Heard Sri Jitendra Chaudhary, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.C. Bisht, learned Brief Holder for the State. 2. By means of this writ petition the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned transfer order dated 3rd July 2008 passed by the respondent No.2 whereby the petitioner (a medical officer) has been transferred from Primary Health Center Okhalkanda, District Nainital to State Allopathic Dispensary, Devidhura, District Champawat. 3. The order appears to have been remained uncomplied with since 3-7-2008 on the part of petitioner. The impugned order is not an order relating to transfer of the petitioner alone. It consists of chain of medical officers who have been transferred from one place to another. 4. Having considered the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.C. Bisht, learned Brief Holder for the State, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. 5. The writ petition is summarily disposed of with the observations that the petitioner after joining his duties at new place of posting may make a representation within a period of 15 days to the authority concerned for redressal of his grievance, who shall consider and decide the same within a period of one month thereafter. (Stay application No.7142 of 2008 stands disposed of). (B.S. Verma, J.) (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) ` 24-10-2008 RMY
