WP(C) 4230/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE I A ANSARI The petitioner, a member of the Central Industrial Security Force (in short, CIS F), has been transferred, by order, dated 24.05.2010, from Bongaigaon, Assam, to Durgapur. By making a representation, the petitioner sought to remain at his place of post ing, at Bongaigaon, on the ground that his wife has conceived after prolonged tr eatment for fertility and she has been carrying two months’ pregnancy, and that he is, therefore, required to remain, at Bongaigaon, for a further period of one more year. However, the petitioner’s said representation has been rejected and , in terms of the order, dated 19.07.2010, the petitioner stands relieved with e ffect from 31.07.2010, from his present place of posting, at Bongaigaon. Feelin g aggrieved, the petitioner has filed this writ petition, under Article 226 of t he Constitution of India, calling for interference by this Court with the impugn ed order of transfer, dated 24.05.2010, and also the order of release, dated 19. 07.2010 aforementioned. Heard Mr. R. Mazumdar, learned counsel for the petitioner. Heard also Mr . F. Ahmed, learned Central Government counsel, appearing on behalf of the respo ndents. While considering this writ petition, it is important to note that the n ormal tenure of posting of a constable, in the CISF, is three years, whereas the petitioner has been at his present place of posting for about four years. In s uch circumstances, this Court does not find that the rejection of the petitioner ’s representation is arbitrary or so irrational as to call for interference by t his Court in exercise of its powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of Ind ia. In view of the above, this Court does not find that the petitioner has b een able to make out any case for invoking this Court’s extra-ordinary jurisdict ion under Article 226. This writ petition, therefore, fails and the same shall accordingly stand dismissed. No order as to costs.
