IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.14812 of 2009 Date of Decision: September 23, 2009 Ajaib Singh .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. S.K. Sharma Budhladawale, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Challenge in this petition is order Annexure P-5 endorsed on 27.8.2009 whereby the petitioner, a Veterinary Inspector, has been transferred from Civil Veterinary Hospital, Natheha, District Bathinda to Civil Veterinary Hospital, Gaggo Buan, District Tarn Taran in public interest. It has been contended that on account of political reasons, the transfer of the petitioner has been ordered. The sequence of events speaks otherwise. A perusal of Order Annexure P-3 indicates that the petitioner was transferred from Civil Veterinary Dispensary, Chhappianwali, District Mansa to Government Rabbit Farm, Dhar, CWP No.14812 of 2009 [2] District Gurdaspur by virtue of order, endorsed on 30.5.2007. The petitioner, vide order endorsed on 20.7.2007 (Annexure P-4) was transferred, on his request, to Civil Veterinary Hospital, Natheha, District Bathinda against vacancy. As per the allegations of malafide, because respondent No.4 lost the election on 28.2.2007, harassment of the petitioner started. Perusal of Order Annexure P-4 indicates otherwise in so much as on the request of the petitioner, he was transferred to District Bathinda vide order dated 20.7.2007. If there was any ill will, the request of the petitioner for transfer would not have been acceded. The petitioner has stayed at one place for more than two years whereafter impugned order Annexure P-5 has been passed. No ground for interference is made out. Action of the respondents does not call for judicial review. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) September 23, 2009 JUDGE Avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
