IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (S/B) No. 168 of 2008 Sunder Singh Rawat ……… Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand & another ………. Respondents None for the petitioner Mr. K.P. Upadhyay, Addl. Chief Standing Counsel for the State/respondent Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. None appears on behalf of the petitioner. 2. By an order, petitioner was transferred. The said order was passed by the Competent Authority. It was contended that the same was not in accordance with the transfer policy of 29th May, 2008. A counter affidavit was filed, where it was accepted that the case of the petitioner was not sent to the Committee constituted for recommending transfers. On that premise, the transfer order was stayed. The fact remains that the transfer policy, referred to above, contemplated cases of employees being sent to the Committee constituted for recommending transfers and to effect transfer of such employees on the basis of such recommendations. That having not been done, the writ petition succeeds and the transfer order, impugned in the writ petition, is quashed. It is made clear that now it shall be open to the State to transfer the petitioner in accordance with law. 3. Accordingly, the writ petition stands allowed. (V.K. Bist, J.)
