CWP(T) No. 3240/08 (OA 1926/05) 10.3.2009 Present: Mr. Lokender Thakur, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. AG with Mr. Vivek Thakur, Addl. AG and Mr. Anil Jaswal Dy. AG for the respondents. The petitioner has assailed his transfer, alongwith the post from IPH Division Bilaspur to Changer Area, IPH Division Bassi in public interest in terms of office order dated 31st July, 2005. The operation of the impugned order qua the applicant was stayed in the present petition on 5th August, 2005. The petitioner has enjoyed the benefit of his original place of posting since then. The petitioner has got no legally enforceable right to continue being posted at the same place over a long period of time. Transfer and posting of an employee is purely the prerogative of the State unless of course it is malafide, arbitrary or not in public interest, which is not so in the present case. Be that as it may be, the fact of the matter is that the petitioner is a physically challenged person having permanent disability of 45%. His limbs have been partially amputed. Mr. R. K. Sharma, Senior Addl. Advocate General fairly submits that keeping in view these circumstances of the petitioner the Government shall take a sympathetic view of the matter and try to adjust him in or around Bilaspur. With the aforesaid observations the petition is disposed of. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. March 10, 2009 (PK)
