As per clause (ii) of the transfer policy dated 7.4.1989, the minimum period for continuously serving on a post is 3 years and that employees should not be transferred from a post earlier unless it is essential to do so on exceptional grounds of public. The petitioner was transferred from Gurgaon to Sub Division Narnaul on 22.5.2007. Thereafter, he was transferred from Narnaul to HUDA Division No.6, Circle No.2, Gurgaon on 1.9.2009 and on 25.5.2011 from Gurgaon to Hisar. Thus, the petitioner was transferred from one place to another after almost 2 years. Even otherwise, as per the said policy dated 7.4.1989, the policy instructions cover only the broad outlines. Thus, they are in no way mandatory. As per the order of transfer, the C.W.P. No.11531 of 2011 -2- petitioner has been transferred on account of administrative ground. The said transfer is neither mala fide nor on account of punishment. As such, the transfer on account of administrative reasons should not be interfered with. Accordingly, no ground to set aside the order of transfer dated 25.5.2011 is made out. Dismissed. 6.7.2011 ( NIRMALJIT KAUR ) rajeev JUDGE
