'v./ ''' .•'f:;'*'' ^ W.P.(S)No.3662/2008 3^/na Transfer is an incidence of service, no person working on a transferable post can make his ctaim for posting at a particular place. It is for the employer to see as to who should be posted at which place, keeping in mind the better functioning of the department as also the public interest. Untess the order of transfer is shown to be vitiated by malafldes or extraneous considerations or it is shown to be passed against anystatutory Rule or the Act, normally such ordere are not to be interfered by a court of law, is the settled view of the Apex Court in many cases. Merely, transfer of a person after completion of 7 months at a particularplace does not constitute any ofthe factors germane for consideration of the genuineness or reasonability of the transfer order. 1 do not find any reason to interfere in the order of transfer on such ground. The petition has no merit and the same Is dismissed at the motion stage itself. Sd/- Sunil Kumar Sinha Judge
