ORAL ORDER (14.07.2008} SUNIL KUMAR SINHA. J. Heard. The petitioner, who is working on the post of Sahayak Bhurrs SanralGhan Adhikari, Ambikapur, Dlstrfct Sarguja (C.G.) has been transferred from Ambikapur to Jashpur. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that just 9 months ago, the petitioner was transferred from Kabeerdham to Ambikpuar, therefore, this is a quick action;on the part of the Government and the same appears to be malafide. 1 have heard tearned counsel for the petitioner and have also considered the records filed along with the writ petition. s i..ssS*^ 1 1 iqt?ill""'g j 2- W.P.(S)No.3661/200S Shyna Transfer is an incidence of service, no person working on a transferable post can make his claim for posting at a particular place. tt is for the employer to see as to who shoutd be posted at which ptace, keeping in mind the better functioning of the department as also the pubtic interest. Unless the order of transfer is shown to be vitiated by maiafides or extraneous considerations or it is shown to be passed against any statutory Rule or the Act, normally such orders are not to be interfered by a court of law, is the settled view of the Apex Court in many cases. Merely, transfer of a person after completion of 9 months at a particular place does not constitute any of the factors germane for consideration of the genuineness or reasonability of the transfer order. 1 do not flnd any reason to interfere in the order of transfer on such ground. The petition has no merit and the same is dismissed at the motion stage itself. ~-~~~— Sd/- s"nilKumarSinha
