IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.5072 of 2011 Date of Decision : March 21, 2011. Gurlaljit Singh .....Petitioner versus Punjab State Power Corporation Limited & Ors. .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr. Ashok Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner who is working as foreman with the respondent-corporation was transferred from sub-division Mehlan (Patiala Zone) to Bathinda Zone vide order dated 15.11.2010 (Annexure P-1) while left with 21 month's service only as he is to retire on 31.08.2012. The petitioner approached this Court vide CWP No.22659 of 2010 which was withdrawn with liberty to approach the authorities of the respondent corporation. The petitioner submitted a representation dated 21.12.2010 (Annexure P-3) and joined the new place of posting without prejudice to his right to challenge the transfer order. He has filed this writ petition primarily on the plea that as per the policy, the petitioner who is nearing retirement ought not to have been transferred. The petitioner has also C.W.P.No .5072 of 2011 2 attributed motive to respondent nos.4 and 5, Sub-Divisional Engineer and Executive Engineer, respectively for his transfer. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the nature of relief sought by him which a writ Court would ordinarily be reluctant to grant, however considering the allegations made by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Secretary/Managing Director of the respondent- corporation to consider the petitioner's representation dated 21.12.2010 (Annexure P-3) sympathetically and dispose of the same in accordance with policy/guidelines, within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. March 21, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
