Whether approved for reporting? For the Petitioner: Ms. Archana Dutt, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. Anup Rattan, Advocate General, Mr. Rajan Kahol, Mr. Vishal Panwar & Mr. B.C. Verma, Additional Advocate Generals, with Mr. Ravi Chauhan, Deputy Advocate General, for respondents-State. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral) Though having taken note of the fact that petitioner has already completed normal tenure of posting at Jal Shakti Vibhag Sub Division Koti, Division Tissa, District Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, this Court sees no reason to interfere in the impugned transfer order (Annexure P-1), whereby he has been ordered to be transferred from present place of posting to Jal Shakti Vibhag Section Chakloo under Division Tissa, but having taken note of the fact that petitioner is a Beldar and his mother is bed ridden, this Court, without going into the merits of the case, deems it fit to dispose of the present petition reserving 2 liberty to the petitioner to file representation to the competent authority within a period of one week, praying therein for his adjustment at a convenient station, which in turn shall be decided by the competent authority within a period of ten days. Ordered accordingly. Needless to say, authority concerned, while doing the needful in terms of instant order, shall afford an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and pass appropriate orders taking note of transfer policy, which enables an employee to seek transfer/adjustment on account of adverse family circumstances. Till the time, representation, as detailed herein above, is not decided in terms of instant order, petitioner shall not be compelled to join at transferred station in terms of impugned transfer order. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. May 09, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (sunil) Judge
