IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH SHIMLA CWP(T) No. 3279 of 2008 Date of Decision: 3.07.2009 Bhagmal Bharmoria …Petitioner. Versus. H.P.S.E.B and another …Respondents. Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, Judge. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, Judge. Whether approved for Reporting? No. For the petitioner: Mr. Sanjeev Bhushan, Advocate. For the Respondent No. 1: Mr. Shashi Sirsoo, Advocate. For the Respondent No.2: Ms. Ambika Kotwal, Advocate. Per Deepak Gupta, J.(Oral) The petitioner by means of this writ petition has challenged the order dated 27th February, 2006 whereby he was ordered to be transferred from Uhl Const. Division No.III, Chulla at Lad Badhol to Kashang Const. Division, Reckong Peo. Even as per the averments made in the petition, the petitioner prior to his transfer has spent almost 16 years at Lad Badhol. Stay order was granted in favour of the petitioner on 29.3.2006. Therefore, it is apparent that the petitioner by virtue of the stay order has been continuing there for a long time. He has completed his normal tenure and therefore, the petition has become infrctuous by efflux of time. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to file a representation to the respondent-Board in respect of his transfer to a tribal area which shall be decided strictly in accordance with the transfer 2 policy being followed by the respondent-Board. Stay order is vacated. ( Deepak Gupta ) Judge. 3rd July, 2009. ( Surinder Singh ) ™ Judge.
