CWP No. 18568 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 18568 of 2008 Date of Decision: May 06, 2009 Krishan Kumar and others ...... Petitioners Versus State of Haryana and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. Saurabh Mohunta, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Harish Rathee, Senior DAG, Haryana for respondents No. 1 to 3. None for respondent No.4. **** 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? Ajay Tewari, J. This writ petition has been filed challenging the transfer of the petitioners on the ground that the impugned transfer took place within ten days of an earlier transfer order and is violative of the transfer policy. It is not disputed that the petitioners were not actually transferred under the first transfer order which was cancelled in public interest. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioners is that the petitioners are both related to Sh. Ajay Chautala and it is only as a consequence of political rivalry that the earlier transfer order of the CWP No. 18568 of 2008 2 petitioners was cancelled at the instance of respondent No.4 who is a Congress (I) MLA from the constituency. In the written statement these averments have been denied. It has been asserted that the transfer orders were substituted by the impugned orders on administrative grounds. No replication has been filed. In the circumstances it is not possible for this Court to return a finding that the transfer of the petitioners was made as a result of any mala fide. Consequently this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE May 06, 2009 sunita
