IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 1196 (SS) of 2011 Rajendra Singh Lingwal …Petitioner Versus Registrar Cooperative Societies …Respondents Mr. B.D. Pande, learned counsel present for the petitioner. Mr. H.M. Raturi, learned standing counsel present for the respondents no. 1 and 3. Mr. Lok Pal Singh, learned counsel present for respondent no. 2. Hon’ble Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. Heard Mr. B.D. Pande, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. H.M. Raturi, learned standing counsel for the State of Uttarakhand and Mr. Lok Pal Singh, learned counsel for respondent no. 2. The petitioner is an employee of District Co- operative Bank Limited. He has been transferred from Head Office Gopeshwar to Main Branch Karnprayag in the same district. According to the petitioner, the respondents have violated thier own transfer policy, according to which no transfer can be made after 31st July of a year and in case such transfer could be made after 31st July of a year, permission of the Registrar Co-operative Societies is mandatory. This not being done, is the violation of the own transfer policy. Be that as it may, since the transfer policy does not have a statutory force, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the matter. However, apparently there seems to be violation of the transfer policy, therefore, it would serve ends of justice, if the writ petition is disposed of with a direction that if the petitioner moves a representation before the Registrar Co-operative Societies (respondent no. 1) the same shall be decided by the said authority in accordance with law and in accordance with transfer policy, as expeditiously as possible but definitely 2 within a period of six weeks from the date a certified copy of this order is produced before him. It is made clear that the petitioner first must give his joining at his transferred place as directed by the concerned authority and after he gives such a joining, he can move a representation before the authority concerned along with the certified copy of this order. With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition is disposed of finally. No order as to costs. (Sudhanshu Dhulia, J.) Dated: 13.09.2011 VKG
