JUSTICE SURYA KANT 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present : Mr. Balbir Singh Sewak, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Sudeepti Sharma, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. **** SURYA KANT, J.(Oral) The petitioner is a Math teacher who has been transferred vide order dated 25.04.2011 from Govt. High School, Kotli Mallian, District Amritsar to Govt. Senior Secondary School, Kishangarh Farwahi, Mansa. The petitioner alleges that the transfer order has been passed on the basis of a fake complaint. I am of the considered view that the transfer being an incidence of service, this Court need not interfere with the same. However, learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the petitioner has been transferred to a place which is 150 Kilometer away from his previous place of posting and the same is bound to cause extreme hardship to him and to his family members. CWP No. 7487 of 2011 [2] Having regard to all the mitigating circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Director Public Instructions (Secondary Education), Punjab to reconsider the desirability of transferring the petitioner at some other place in Districts Amritsar or Tarn Taran within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Till then the petitioner shall be allowed to continue at the present place of posting. A copy of this order be handed over to the learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab for information and necessary compliance. Dasti. 08.09.2011 (SURYA KANT) 'ravinder' JUDGE
