Vashista, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General for respondents No.1 and 2. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral): CMP No.6819 of 2010. Allowed. The application stands disposed of. CWP No.4347 of 2010. This writ petition is filed with the following prayers:- “(i) That a writ in the nature of certiorari may kindly be issued for quashing the order dated 30.04.2010 to the extent where by the petitioner has been ordered to be transferred from G.S.S.S. Jawali to G.S.S.S. Karoa, Distt. Kangra, H.P. (ii) A writ in the nature of mandamus may kindly be issued directing the respondents to shift the petitioner to G.S.S.S. Jawali, Distt. Kangra, H.P.” - 2 - 2. The petitioner has submitted Annexure P-4 representation. Among other things, it is pointed out by the petitioner that he has left only 11 months to retire from service. It is also submitted that the petitioner is handicapped to the extent of 45% and in view of such disability he is facing great difficulty in walking. To reach the transferred place, the petitioner will have to walk on foot for about four Kms. It appears that the efforts have not been taken by the second respondent while passing the impugned order. Normally, when a person is to retire, he is to be accommodated at a place of his/her choice subject to also availability of vacancy. 3. In view of the above, it will be appropriate that the second respondent is directed to consider the matter afresh, in the light of the difficulties faced by the petitioner and also the guidelines regarding accommodation and take appropriate action. Needful shall be done within one month from the date of production of copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the writ petition by the petitioner. 4. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice Rajiv Sharma), Judge. July 29, 2010. (sck/awasthi).
