SANJEEV PRAKASH SHARMA HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SANGEETA SHARMA Order 13/02/2026 1. Heard. 2. It is stated by learned counsel for the appellant that he has only 18 months left for retirement and he has been posted at Srinagar from Jaipur, which is far off place and a hard station. 3. The transfer policy exempts transfer of employees of Airport Authority of India, who have only three years left for retirement. [2026:RJ-JP:7006-DB] (2 of 2) [SAW-1414/2025] He submits that appellant’s father is 86 years old and during the pendency of this appeal, his father expired. Learned counsel submits that there are other places available with the respondents, where the appellant can be adjusted. 4. Ordinarily, we do not entertain appeals relating to transfer, as the orders are passed for posting on account of administrative exigencies, as have been pointed out by the respondents in their additional affidavit that the airport at Jaipur has been handed over on PPP mode. There are some posts which have become surplus and the appellant has been duly transferred to Srinagar on account of the same and at Srinagar, there was no person available for holding the post of Manager (HR). Requiring such a person to work at the said place, posting orders have been passed. It is, however, also informed that there are certain posts of Manager (HR) available in another airports like Prayagraj, Amritsar, Jammu and Surat. 5. However, we need not further deal with all these issues and leave it open for the authorities to take a pragmatic approach in consonance with their own policy and decide the representation of the appellant. 6. The appellant may, accordingly, file a fresh representation within seven days and the authorities are expected to decide the same within another two weeks thereto. However, we make it clear that we would not interfere with the orders of transfer. 7. Accordingly, the appeal stands disposed of.
