Item No. S-6 Amit Kumar vs. State of H.P. & another LPA No.192 of 2023 09.01.2025 Present: Mr. Naresh K. Sharma, Advocate, for the appellant. Mr. Anup Rattan, Advocate General with Mr. Arsh Rattan, Deputy Advocate General, for respondent No.1. Mr. Parav Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.2. CMP No.26215 of 2024 This application has been filed for early hearing of appeal. This is a conceded position that the respondent-writ petitioner has completed three years at Bilaspur and the issue is regarding the transfer order, which was apparently punitive and led to the passing of interim order by the Coordinate Bench. We are of the considered opinion that the life of the litigation has run out of its currency. Resultantly, it is open for the State to pass fresh transfer order, however, we expect that the State will not pass a punitive transfer order as earlier done. Let the proposed transfer order be placed on record and the same shall be given effect only after the next date of hearing. List on 6th March, 2025. ( G.S. Sandhawalia ) Chief Justice ( Satyen Vaidya ) Judge January 09, 2025 (vt)
