Heard learned counsel for petitioner, learned State Counsel for opposite parties. 2. Petition has been filed challenging order dated 15.07.2025 whereby petitioner has been transferred on the post of Consolidator from Hardoi to Mau. 3. It has been submitted that impugned order of transfer has been passed within six month of petitioner's earlier posting on 10.12.2024. The petitioner has also indicted various persons in paragraph no. 9 of writ petition to submit that persons, who were working earlier to petitioner in the district have not been transferred and therefore, alleges arbitrariness. 4. Learned State Counsel has been provided written instructions dated 30.7.2025, copy of which is taken on record, and indicates a chart appended thereto to submit that petitioner has been transferred in view of the fact that in District Hardoi, against forty two sanctioned posts, fifty Consolidators are currently posted due to which eight persons were required to be transferred. 5. He has also adverted to the chart to indicate that in District Mau against ten sanctioned posts only eight persons are currently posted and therefore in order to accommodate excess persons working in District Hardoi petitioner has been transferred to District Mau. 6. Upon consideration of submissions advanced by learned counsel for parties and perusal of material available on record, it is evident that petitioner is currently working in District Hardoi in excess of sanctioned posts and it is in order to ameliorate such situation, he has been transferred. 7. In view of aforesaid this Court does not find any arbitrariness in the impugned transfer order, therefore, petition fails and is dismissed. 8. Parties to bear their own costs.
