IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP(T)No. 623 of 2008. Date of decision: 17.7.2009 Surinder Kumar …. Petitioner Versus State of H.P & ors. .... Respondents Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Deepak Gupta, J. The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Surinder Singh, J. Whether approved for reporting ? No For the petitioner: Mr.Anup Rattan, Advocate. For the respondents: Sh.R.M.Bisht and Sh.Rajesh Mandhotra, Dy.Advocate Generals for respondents No.1 to 3. Deepak Gupta, J.(Oral) By means of this writ petition, the petitioner who is working as Ayurvedic Pharmacist has challenged the order dated 26.3.2008 whereby he has been transferred from the Ayurvedic Health Centre, Arloo to the Ayurvedic Health Centre, Thandal, Chamba. One of the grounds raised by the petitioner in the writ petition is that the transfer has been ordered at the instance of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of the State. The relevant portion of the petition reads as follows:- “That there was no proposal from the department to transfer the applicant and the impugned order has been passed on the directions of High Ups. The information note clearly reflects that the transfer of the applicant was made under the UO note of Hon’ble Chief Minister and at the instance of political leaders. Therefore, the impugned order suffers from malafide and deserves to be quashed and set aside.” The photocopy of the transfer order was attached as Annexure A/1 and “True Relevant Typed Copy” was also filed as Annexure A-1/T. In the typed version, this note is given “Copy to Secretary to Hon’ble Chief Minister HP w.r.t. his UO note No.” On perusal of Annexure A/1, we find that there is no corresponding note in the original transfer order. This allegation being totally false, we do not propose to entertain the petition itself. It is well settled law that any litigant who approaches this Court for grant of relief under Article 226 of the Constitution of India must come to Court with clean hands. There is obviously some interpolation while translating and typing the relevant portion of the document. Therefore, the writ petition is rejected. Stay order is vacated.
