IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No.15551 of 2025 Date of Decision: 25.09.2025 _____________________________________________________________________ Robin Sharma ……...Petitioner Versus The Executive Director (Personnel) HPSEBL & Ors. …....Respondents Coram Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sandeep Sharma, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? For the Petitioner: Ms. Tanu Chauhan, Advocate. For the respondents: Ms. Nisha, Advocate vice Mr. Anil Kumar, Advocate. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral) Petitioner herein, who at present is working as Junior Office Assistant (Accounts) Electrical Division HPSEBL, Keylong, District Lahaul and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, which is a tribal/hard area, has approached this Court in the instant proceedings, seeking therein direction to the respondents to consider and decide his pending representation (Annexure P-2), whereby he has prayed for his transfer from present place of posting to one of the stations, as detailed in the representation, on account of his having completed normal tenure of posting. 2. Having regard to the nature of prayer and order proposed to be passed in the instant petition, this Court sees no necessity to call for the reply from the respondents, who are otherwise represented by Ms. Nisha, Advocate. Mr. Nisha, fairly states that representation filed by the petitioner, if not already decided, shall be decided expeditiously. 3. Since it is quite apparent from the pleadings as well as documents adduced on record that petitioner has already completed normal tenure at present place of posting, which is a hard area, coupled with the fact that Transfer Policy formulated by the Government of Himachal Pradesh, enables an employee to seek transfer from hard area to soft area on his/her having completed normal tenure i.e. two winters and three summers, this Court sees no impediment in issuing directions to the respondents to consider and decide the pending representation of the petitioner (Annexure P-2) expeditiously, preferably within three weeks from today. 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 formulated by the Government of Himachal Pradesh. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. September 25, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (sunil) Judge 2
