In this light of the fact that the petitioner has been serving at Reckong-Peo for more than 17 years, this Court sees no reason to interfere with the transfer order, and on this count alone, the petition is dismissed. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has an ailing wife to look after also does not find favour with this Court, because, there are adequate medical facilities available at Pooh also. 4. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (Ajay Mohan Goel) Judge March 17, 2026 (Vinod)
