WP(C) 2983/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioner challenges his transfer from the Silchar Polytechnic to the Dibru garh Polytechnic to the vacant post of Junior Assistant. Mr. RP Sharma, learned senior counsel contends that the petitioner was engaged i n the post of Assistant Instructor (Fitting) in the Silchar Polytechnic and ther efore the transfer to the post of Junior Assistant is a case of demotion. In the counter affidavit filed by the Director of Technical Education, Assam (re spondent No.2), it is clearly projected that the petitioner was appointed in th e substantive post of the Field Assistant in the Silchar Polytechnic under the Community Polytechnic Scheme. After the abolition of the said scheme, the petit ioner was temporarily adjusted in the vacancy of Assistant Instructor (Fitting) in his own grade scale of pay as a stop gap arrangement to draw his salary. It is further averred that the petitioner is transferred to an equivalent post of J unior Assistant in the Dibrugarh Polytechnic in exigencies of service and no fin ancial loss is caused to the incumbent by the impugned transfer order. Ms. HM Phukan, the learned Government Advocate submits that petitioner was poste d as Field Assistant at the Silchar Polytechnic as a stop gap arrangement and he doesn’t have any enforceable right to cling to the said post and he is bound to carry out the transfer order, as a disciplined Govt. servant. Bearing in mind the rival contention and seeing that the transfer order was issu ed in public interest and to an equivalent post, I see no merit in the present c ase and same is accordingly dismissed. The interim order, if any, stands recalled.
