JUSTICE ANAND SHARMA Order 10/09/2025 1. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner has preferred an application for his mutual transfer qua respondent No.5 but the official respondents [2025:RJ-JP:36520] (2 of 2) [CW-13413/2025] No.1 to 4 are not acceeding to their request and the mutual transfer, as sought, has not get been ordered. 2. The prayer made by the petitioner is totally misconceived. It is a well settled proposition of law that the employer is the best person to decide the place of posting of the respective employees. Merely, on account of the fact that some request for mutual transfer has been preferred by any employee, does not mean that the respondent-Government is under an obligation to pass order at the request of the concerned employee. 3. It is well within the rights of the State Government to post their employees as per the administrative exigency and in the interest of public at large. 4. In view of above, there is no scope for interference under the Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Hence, the writ petition filed by the petitioner is, hereby, dismissed.
