Writ Petition no.273 (M/B) of 2003 Dharamvir Singh .................... Petitioner Versus State of Uttaranchal and others. .................... Respondents Hon'ble M.M.Ghildiyal J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel. The petitioner has been transferred vide order dated 09.04.2003 passed by D.I.G. (Karmik) Police Head Quarter Uttaranchal Dehradun from district Dehradun to district Pithoragarh on administrative grounds. The contention of the petitioner is that he was earlier transferred in July 2000 from district Dehradun to district Rudraprayag. He had challenged the orders dated 12.07.2000 and 19.07.2000 of transfer from Dehradun to Rudraprayag before Hon'ble Allahabad High Court and Hon'ble Allahabad High Court has stayed these orders on 07.08.2000. That order has become infructuous after the creation of State of Uttaranchal. The authorities are free to pass any order of transfer. Further, the present transfer order has been passed on administrative grounds. I do not find any irregularity or illegality in the impugned transfer order. If the petitioner fails to join his new place of transfer within a week from today, the authorities are free to take disciplinary action against the petitioner. With these observations the writ petition is dismissed. 17.04.2003: MPS
