CWP No.20571 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No.20571 of 2011 Date of decision: 7.11.2011 Baljeet Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. B.S. Bajwa, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). The petitioner, who is working as VDO/Panchayat Secretary, has challenged order, Annexure P-3, whereby he has been transferred from Fatehgarh Churain to Quadian. Learned counsel submits that in addition to his duties as VDO, petitioner has also to perform the functions of Local Booth Level Officer. In view of the ensuing elections, he cannot be transferred from one place to another. He has placed reliance on instructions, Annexure P-2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. It is evident that petitioner, who is working as a VDO/ Panchayat Secretary, has been transferred vide order, Annexure P-3. The duty of Booth Level Officer is an ancillary duty, which such an officer has to perform. On a query being put to the learned counsel CWP No.20571 of 2011 2 whether any notification has been issued for any forthcoming election, the answer is in the negative. In view of the same, it is inexplicable how the petitioner can maintain this petition. The petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 7.11.2011 'rajpal'
