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 a Staff Nurse in the Health and Family Welfare Department, Government of Punjab, is due for retirement w.e.f. 31.08.2012 on attaining the age of superannuation. She seeks quashing of the order dated 28.7.2011 (Annexure P-1) vide which she has been transferred from P.H.C. Panjgarian, District Gurdaspur to the C.H.C. Ghuman, District Gurdaspur. The petitioner alleges that the transfer order is likely to cause extreme hardship to her and her family. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that the mitigating circumstances highlighted by the petitioner need to be brought to the notice of the competent authority who CWP No.14477 of 2011 [2] alone can take an administrative decision regarding posting of the petitioner at P.H.C. Panjgarian and/or at some nearby place. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall submit a representation to the Director, Health and Family Welfare, Punjab, Chandigarh, within a period of one week who shall then consider the petitioner's request sympathetically for her retention at P.H.C. Panjgarian till the completion of normal tenure of posting. Till the aforesaid decision is taken, the petitioner shall not be relieved from the present place of her posting. Ordered accordingly.
