IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.WP No. 13834 of 2011. [O&M] Date of Decision: 2nd August, 2011. Pargat Singh Petitioner through Mr. S.S.Khaira, Advocate Versus State of Punjab & Ors. Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 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] Notice of motion. Ms. Sudeepti Sharma, learned DAG, Punjab, who is present in Court, accepts notice. Keeping in view the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no need at this stage to seek reply of the respondents. The petitioner who is a Panchayat Secretary is aggrieved by his transfer order dated 27.07.2011 [Annexure P-1]. One of the grievance of the petitioner is that he is due to retire w.e.f. 31.10.2012 and that his wife is suffering from arthritis etc. In my considered view, the transfer being an incidence of service, ordinarily no interference by this Court is called for, except to observe that the hardship or the mitigating circumstances, if any, can be pointed out to the competent Authority. Accordingly, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No. 2 to consider it as a representation filed on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of the same sympathetically to retain the petitioner at the present place of posting or at a nearby place. The appropriate orders shall be passed within a period of one month from the date a copy of the writ petition along with a certified copy of this order is received. Till then, operation of the impugned order qua the petitioner shall remain stayed and he shall be allowed to continue at the present place of posting. Let a copy of this order be supplied Dasti to learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab for information and compliance. Disposed of. Dasti. August 02, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
