(Oral) Petitioner herein, who at present is working as Lecturer (SN) (Economics) at Government Senior Secondary School Luhri, Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, is aggrieved by impugned transfer order dated 28.05.2025 (Annexure P-1), whereby he has been transferred from afore station to Government Senior Secondary School Neether, Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, vice Mr. Pawan Kumar, respondent No. 4. 2. Though having taken note of the fact that petitioner has already completed normal tenure of posting at present place of posting and distance between the transferred station and the present place of posting is not more than 25Kms, this Court sees no reason to interfere in the impugned transfer order and as such, same is upheld. However, having taken note of the fact that father of the petitioner is unwell and requires constant care of his son, this Court deems it fit to dispose of the present petition reserving liberty to the petitioner to file representation to the competent authority within a period of one week, seeking adjustment at a convenient station, which shall be decided by the competent authority within one week. 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 at a convenient station 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 applications, if any, stand disposed of. June 03, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (sunil) Judge 2
