IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2334 of 2009 BALMIKI PRASAD Versus THE BIHAR STATE WARE HOUSING CORP. ----------- 2. 18.2.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the Corporation. The transfer order of the petitioner dated 21.10.2008 is sought to be challenged on the ground that no reasons have been spelt out for transfer of the petitioner to Jankinagar. Normally it is never required that the transfer order should also contain the reason but if that be the grievance of the petitioner, there is definitely some reason for indication of application of mind. Transfer order in fact spells out both the interest of the Corporation and also administrative exigency to be the guiding reasons for transfer of the petitioner. That being so, the first part of the grievance of the petitioner does not merit any consideration. Counsel then contends that there is no sanctioned post of driver at Jankinagar centre. This should not be the concern of the petitioner because at Jankinagar his 2 payment of salary to be paid by the Corporation in terms of the sanctioned post in relation to his place of posting under the impugned order of transfer is not going to be stopped. Counsel for the Corporation assures that if the petitioner will start working at Jankinagar centre he will be paid his salary regularly in accordance with law. That being so, normally the transfer order can not be the subject matter of a judicial review unless the same is shown to be malafide or without jurisdiction. In absence of either of the two reasons in this writ application the same is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
