IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH SHIMLA CWP (T) No. 10074 of 2008. Date of decision: 18.05.2011. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ravinder Nath …Petitioner Versus State of H.P. & others. …Respondents Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice. The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, J. For the petitioners: Mr. Vikas Bhardwaj, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. R.K. Bawa, A.G. with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. A.G. and Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. A.G. Justice Kurian Joseph,C.J.(Oral): The petitioner has dispute with regard to his seniority. It is not in dispute that he has been the beneficiary of inter district transfer which necessarily entails the loss of seniority in the transferred district. According to the petitioner, in the cases of many persons such benefit of past service has been granted. If the law contemplates, the forfeiture of the past service in the inter district transfer for the purpose of seniority, for the reason that in the cases of few others, the same has been granted, cannot be a reason for the petitioner to claim a relief. If it is done in the cases of other teachers, the petitioner may point out such irregularities before the second respondent, which he may do within a period of two months. The second respondent may take up the matter with notice to all those persons who have enjoyed the benefit of past service despite the inter district transfer and in which case the 2 second respondent shall take action in the matter after issuing notice to the effected teachers. 2. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice May 18, 2011 (Justice V.K. Ahuja ) (MLG/jai) Judge
