IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No.13479 of 2025 Date of Decision: 22.8.2025 _____________________________________________________________________ Jagiri Ram ……...Petitioner Versus State of Himachal Pradesh and Ors. …....Respondents Coram Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sandeep Sharma, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? For the Petitioner: Mr. Sandeep Chauhan, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr.Anup Rattan, Advocate General with Mr. Rajan Kahol, Mr. Vishal Panwar and Mr. B.C. Verma, Additional Advocates General with Mr. Ravi Chauhan, Deputy Advocate General. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral) Petitioner herein, who, at present, is working as ClassIV at Government Ayurvedic Hospital Paonta Sahib, District Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh, has approached this Court in the instant proceedings, seeking therein direction to the respondents to consider and decide his representations (Annexure P-4), whereby he has prayed for his transfer to one of the stations as detailed in the representation on the ground of disability of his son and daughter-in-law, who are deaf and dumb. 2. Having regard to the nature of order proposed to be passed in the instant proceedings, this Court sees no necessity to call for reply from the respondents, who are otherwise represented by Mr. B.C.Verma, learned Additional Advocate General, who fairly states that - 2 - representation, if any, filed by the petitioner, shall be considered and decided sympathically. 3. Since it is quite apparent from the pleading adduced on record in the petition, which is duly supported by an affidavit, that son and daughter-in-law of the petitioner are deaf and dumb and there is none to take care of them coupled with the fact that transfer policy enables an employee to seek transfer/adjustment on account of adverse family circumstances, this Court without going into the merits of the case, deems it fit to dispose of the present petition with direction to the respondents to consider and decide pending representation of the petitioner, expeditiously, preferably, within two weeks. Ordered accordingly. Needless to say, authority concerned, while doing the needful in terms of instant order, shall afford an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and pass a speaking order taking note of transfer policy, which provides for certain concession to an employee having disabled children. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. August 22, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (manjit) Judge
