Versus State of H.P. and others. …Respondents Coram The Hon’ble Mr.Justice Deepak Gupta, J. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K.Ahuja, J. Whether approved for reporting?1.No. For the petitioner: Mr. I.D.Bali, Senior Advocate with Mr. K.G.Sharma, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. R.K.Bawa, Advocate General and Mr. Ram Murti Bisht, Dy. Advocate General. Per Deepak Gupta, J. (Oral). By means of this writ petition the petitioner has challenged his transfer from Nirsu to Jeori. The stand of the State is that there was restructuring of the Veterinary Institutions in the State of Himachal Pradesh and veterinary Dispensary Nirsu has been abolished. Instead a new veterinary hospital has been opened at Duttnagar near Nirsu by shifting the staff from veterinary hospital, Rampur to Duttnagar, which is close to Nirsu. The post of veterinary Pharmacist and one post of Beldar in the veterinary dispensary Nirsu have been allocated to Veterinary Hospital Taradevi and Veterinary Dispensary at Pehri District Kangra, respectively. 1 Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the Judgment? Yes. 2 According to the response filed by the State since the Beldars are in a district cadre, the petitioner, who otherwise would have had to go to Kangra due to abolition and transfer of post to Kangra, has been adjusted at a distance of 30 kilometers in Jeori. In view of the stand of the State, it is obvious that the petitioner cannot be permitted to continue at Nirsu since the post does not exist there. As such, the petition is without any merit and is rejected. ( Deepak Gupta ), J. March 25, 2009 ( V.K Ahuja ), J. ™
