UKHC010121752026 2026:UHC:5999 HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition Service Single No.1828 of 2026 17th July, 2026 Harsh Mani Vyas …………Petitioner Versus State of Uttarakhand and others ………..Respondents ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Presence:- Mr. Vishwast Kandpal, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Anil K. Dabral, learned Addl. C.S.C. with Mr. Prem Prakash Bhatt, learned B.H. for the State. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated 04.07.2026, whereby the petitioner working as Nursing Officer is attached to Government Medical College, Almora from Government Medical College, Dehradun. 2. This Court vide order dated 15.07.2026 has called upon the learned State counsel to get instructions in the matter within 48 hours as to why the petitioner is attached by the impugned order. 3. Today, instruction dated 17.07.2026, is passed on to this Court by learned State counsel, which are taken on record. 4. On the said instruction, learned State counsel submits that certain complaints were received against the petitioner and on the basis of those complaints the enquiry is contemplated and therefore in order to maintain impartiality in the enquiry, the petitioner was attached by the impugned order dated 04.07.2026. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has yet not been issued any show cause notice and even the said fact is not mentioned in the 1 UKHC010121752026 2026:UHC:5999 impugned order and he further submits that he is the one who has made certain complaints against the Union and on the pressure of the Union the petitioner has been attached on the ground of the contemplated enquiry. 6. Having considered the rival submission of the parties and in view of clear instructions passed by learned State counsel, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the matter as this is an order of attachment and not transfer. The petitioner has rightly been attached to Almora in order to maintain impartiality in the enquiry against the petitioner. 7. Accordingly writ petition stands dismissed.
