district which is not permissible under the transfer policy and the same has been passed by way of punishment on administrative ground therefore, the same is not sustainable and liable to be quashed. He further submits that the impugned
order of transfer has been passed with the sole intention to adjust some other person in District Lucknow after transferring the petitioner from Lucknow to Unnao.
