Civil Writ Petition No. 7715 of 2011 -1- IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 7715 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 3.5.2011 Amarjeet Singh .......... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others ...... Respondents **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present : Mr. Pankaj Jain, Advocate for the petitioner. **** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) Prayer in this writ petition is against the transfer order dated 26.4.2011, vide which the petitioner has been transferred from Hoshiarpur to Jalandhar. The primary contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that earlier petitioner was transferred from Dasuha to Hoshiarpur on 30.9.2009. He hardly has hardly stayed for 1½ years at the station whereas respondent No.3 had stayed for more than ten years at Hoshiarpur and he was transferred from Dasuha to Hoshiarpur in the year 2009 along with the petitioner. After hardly 1½ years he has been brought back, through the impugned order dated 26.4.2011 (Annexure P-2), to Hoshiarpur, which the petitioner contends is against the policy guidelines issued by the State of Civil Writ Petition No. 7715 of 2011 -2- Punjab on 4.6.2010 (Annexure P-4). His further contention is that the order states that the transfer is mutual but no consent was given by the petitioner and the order has been passed against the wishes of the petitioner without taking his consent. Against the transfer order dated 26.4.2011 (Annexure P-2) the petitioner has preferred a representation dated 27.4.2011 (Annexure P-3), which has not been decided till date. Counsel for the petitioner submits that at this stage he would be satisfied, if a direction is issued to the Registrar Cooperative Societies Punjab, Chandigarh- respondent No.2 to consider and decide his representation within some specified time. Without going into the merits of the case or commenting thereon the present writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the the Registrar Cooperative Societies Punjab, Chandigarh- respondent No.2 to consider and decide the representation dated 27.4.2011 (Annexure P-3) submitted by the petitioner against the transfer order dated 26.4.2011 within a period of one week from today. Status quo be maintained till the decision is taken on the the representation dated 27.4.2011 (Annexure P-3). 3.5.2011 (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) 'sp' JUDGE
