IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL. W.P.No. 343 (S/B) 2003 Shambhu Dutt Rekhari S/o late Shri Bachi Ram Rekhari, Posted as Asstt. Engineer (Civil), Rudrapur, Distt. U.S. Nagar .…………. Petitioner Versus State of Uttaranchal, Through Secretary, Irrigation Deptt. and Others …….. ……. Respondents Mr. S.N.Babulkar, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. K.P.Upadhayaya, learned standing counsel for the State. Coram: Hon. S.H.Kapadia, C.J. Hon. Rajesh Tandon, J. Dated: 23.09.2003: PC: The petitioner has been transferred under the annual general transfers made by the State of Uttaranchal. Hence, no interference is called for. Reliance is placed on the norms issued by the U.P.Government. It is high time that this State should be able to formulate its own norms. Even under the norms formulated by U.P. Government, it is mentioned that as far as possible an employee should not be transferred when he is due to retire in two years time. In the present case, the words ‘as far as possible’ are very important. It is for the administration to make transfers annually. These are general transfers. Hence, the writ petition is rejected.
