IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.14463 of 2011 Date of Decision : August 09, 2011. Surinder Kaur .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.R.S.Athwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is working as a Superintendent Grade-II in the Panchayat Samiti, Jalandhar and because of the transfer of respondent No.3 from Kapurthala to Jalandhar, where there is only one post of Superintendent Grade-II, the petitioner apprehends that she may be relieved though she has been posted at Jalandhar on 28.4.2011 only. The petitioner is a widow and it is alleged that she will face extreme hardship in case she is transferred from Jalandhar. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that the mitigating circumstances highlighted by the petitioner need to be brought to the notice of the competent authority who CWP No.14463 of 2011 [2] alone can take an administrative decision regarding posting of the petitioner at Jalandhar and/or at some nearby place. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall submit a representation to the Director-cum-Secretary to the Punjab Government, Rural Development and Panchayats, within a period of one week who shall then consider the petitioner's request sympathetically for her retention at Jalandhar till the completion of normal tenure of posting. Till the aforesaid decision is taken, the petitioner shall not be relieved from the present place of her posting. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 09, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
