C.W.P. No. 6022 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 6022 of 2008 Date of decision : 24.4.2008. ... Albel Singh ................ Petitioner vs. The State of Haryana and others .................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Jasbir Singh Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.C. Puri Present: Sh. Ashish Aggarwal, Advocate for the petitioner Sh. Harish Rathee, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. ... Jasbir Singh, J. (Oral) By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has laid challenge to the order dated 4.4.2008, vide which his transfer order dated 18.2.2008 transferring him from Panchkula to Fatehabad was cancelled. When this matter came up for hearing before this Court on 10.4.2008, by making reference to document Annexure P-5, counsel for the petitioner had vehemently contended that the petitioner is borne on the District Forum Cadre and he cannot be transferred to the State Commission, as has been done vide the impugned order. C.W.P. No. 6022 of 2008 -2- It is apparent from the records that the petitioner was adjusted being a retrenched employee in District Consumer Forum at Bhiwani , thereafter he was transferred to State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Haryana at Panchkula, (hereinafter to be referred as 'the Commission') on 26.11.2007. He represented against his transfer by stating that as he belongs to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum Cadre, he cannot be transferred to the Commission, as referred to above. Vide order Annexure P-8, he was ordered to be transferred to District Forum, Fatehabad and thereafter, his transfer has been cancelled vide the impugned order. When notice of motion was issued, we asked Sh. Harish Rathee, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana, to get instructions as to whether it is possible to adjust the petitioner in District Consumer Forum at Panchkula. Sh. Rathee has put on record copy of the communication dated 23.4.2008, addressed to the Advocate General, Haryana's office, wherein it has been stated that one post of a Clerk, at District Forum, Panchkula, is lying vacant and the petitioner can be adjusted against that post. If that is so, we feel that objection of the petitioner that he has been transferred beyond his cadre, has no substance. Transfer is a consequence of service and as per administrative exigencies, an employee can be transferred from one place to another place. Earlier also, petitioner had been working at Panchkula and vide impugned order, by cancelling his earlier transfer order, he has again been brought to Panchkula. In view of this, we are not inclined to interfere at the instance of the petitioner. C.W.P. No. 6022 of 2008 -3- However, in view of position explained in letter dated 23.4.2008, which has been put in record today, the petitioner be transferred against the vacant post of Clerk in District Forum, Panchkula. Needful be done within 15 days. Disposed of. ( Jasbir Singh ) Judge ( K.C. Puri ) 24.4.2008. Judge chug
