Arun Kumar .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Sushil Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 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? --- ORDER Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner is working as a Superintendent Grade-II in the Department of Employment Generation and Training, Government of Punjab. He is aggrieved at his transfer from Jalandhar to Ferozepur, made vide order dated 11.2.2010 (Annexure P-3). Earlier also vide order dated 31.12.2009 (Annexure P-1), the petitioner was transferred from Gurdaspur to Jalandhar in `public interest'. The petitioner's case is that the incumbent who was posted at Gurdaspur, has got his transfer cancelled and the post of Superintendent Grade-II at Gurdaspur is still lying vacant. C.W.P.No .3535 of 2010 2 I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. There can indeed be no doubt that frequent transfer of a Government employee does not serve any public or administrative interest, rather harms the individual employee's as well as public interest. There is apparently no reason as to why the petitioner was firstly shifted from Gurdaspur to Jalandhar and then from Jalandhar to Ferozepur though the respondents are the best Judge to secure optimum use of the petitioner's services. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to make a representation to respondent No.1 which shall then be considered and disposed of sympathetically and in accordance with the Government Policy, within a period of one month.
