IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA LPA No. 315 of 2011 Date of Decision : August 9, 2011 Gajender Dutt … Appellant. Versus State of H.P. and ors. … Respondents. Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Karol, Judge. For the appellant : Mr. P. P. Chauhan, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. R. K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. A.G. and Mr. J. K. Verma, Dy. A.G. for the respondents-State. Justice Sanjay Karol, J. (Oral) Petitioner was transferred from Dhillon to Ben-Ki-Pukhar. Since there was no vacancy existing in the school, order of transfer dated 13.5.2011 in question was issued and petitioner was transferred from Dhillon (Dmp) to Sanech (Kgt). There is no dispute that the orders were issued with the prior approval of the competent authority. 2. The learned Single Judge in our considered view has rightly dismissed the petition challenging such order of transfer holding that 2 there is neither any infraction of transfer policy nor does the petitioner has any right of continuance on the post in question. 3. The impugned order is assailed on the ground that the private respondent has been managing her posting, within the radius of 16 kilometers from the place of her residence, for the last 12/14 years. This by itself cannot be a ground for interfering in the present appeal. However, if the contention so raised is correct, then the respondent-authorities shall, after taking into account all relevant circumstances and considering the service record of the private respondent, consider transferring her out after completion of her normal tenure of posting. Additionally, if the parties to the lis have not served in any hard/difficult/tribal area, then subject to the suitability and convenience of all concerned an endeavour shall be made to post them in such areas, after completion of their normal tenure of current posting. 4. With the aforesaid directions, present appeal stands disposed of. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice Sanjay Karol), Judge. August 9, 2011 (PK)
