2026:UHC:3221 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPSS/1089/2026 Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. Mr. Tapan Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Ajay Veer Pundir, Advocate for the respondents. 2. Petitioner is serving as Multi Tasking Staff in self finance wing of Gurukul Kangri Vishwavidhyalaya (Deemed to be University). He has been transferred from Faculty of Engineering & Technology (FET) of the University at Haridwar to Kanya Gurukul Campus at Dehradun vide order dated 28.02.2026. Thus feeling aggrieved, petitioner has approached this Court challenging his transfer. 3. It is contended that petitioner’s mother is old and ailing and his children are also studying at Haridwar, therefore, petitioner’s transfer to Dehradun would disturb his entire family. It is further submitted that petitioner has been allotted official accommodation by the University at Haridwar, while there is no such accommodation at Dehradun; therefore, his entire family would be uprooted. Various other contentions are raised by learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the University, however, submits that petitioner is responsible for creating ruckus in the University campus; he is in the habit of misbehaving with the senior officers, including Vice-Chancellor, Registrar and members of the Sponsoring Body. 5. He submits that in an incident, petitioner along 2026:UHC:3221 with some other employees had locked the members of Sponsoring Body, who had visited Haridwar from Delhi on 02.07.2025 inside the University guesthouse. He refers to various such incidents of lawlessness created by petitioner and his fellow employees. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that allegations levelled against petitioner are not correct. He submits that since petitioner is elected General Secretary of the Employees’ Association of the University, therefore these wild allegations are levelled against petitioner. 7. This Court is not inclined to interfere with transfer of the petitioner. 8. Since petitioner holds a transferable post and his transfer has been effected in terms of his conditions of service. 9. Law is well settled that interference with transfer order can be made only when it is infected with malice or there is violation of applicable rules or violation of service conditions. 10. No academic institution can function in a state of lawlessness, therefore, if an employee is transferred in order to bring order in the University, then such transfer cannot be faulted. 11. The writ petition, accordingly, fails and is dismissed. No order as to costs. (Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.) 28.04.2026 Mahinder/
