CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. R.K. Arora, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) By way of this civil writ petition, petitioner, Gurmail, S.S. Master, prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to consider and decide his application for transfer against vacant post during general transfers in 2009-2010. Learned counsel contends that the petitioner made a request for transfer from Dhaliwal Bet to a place nearby Phagwara. The application was recommended by the Principal, Government Senior Secondary School, Dhaliwal Bet, District Kapurthala, where the petitioner is CWP No.11279 of 2010 [2] presently serving, however no action has been taken. Transfer from one place to the other is not a matter of right of an employee. Transfers are effected in administrative exigency by the employer. In such circumstances, no ground for interference is made out. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) June 30, 2010 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2.
