[2026:RJ-JP:21732] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 8472/2026 Priyanka Yaduvanshi Wife Of Shri Shyam Sunder Verma, Aged About 37 Years, Resident Of 119, Girraj Vihar, India Gate, Sitapura, Jaipur. ----Petitioner Versus 1. State Of Rajasthan, Through Its Principal Secretary, School Education Department, Government Secretariat, Rajasthan, Jaipur. 2. Director, Secondary Education, Bikaner, Rajasthan. 3. Principal Mahatma Gandhi Govt. School, Shikarpura, Jaipur. ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Ashok Bansal For Respondent(s) : Mr. Manoj Sharma, AAG with Mr. Vishal Kumar HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANAND SHARMA Order 22/05/2026 1. Petitioner has filed the instant writ petition challenging order dated 10.01.2026, whereby she has been transferred from Mahatma Gandhi Government School, Shikarpura, Jaipur to Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Ward No.14, Chaksu. He has also assailed relieving order dated 18.03.2026. 2. It is stated by petitioner appearing in person that on the date when the petitioner was transferred vide order dated 10.01.2026, she was already assigned duties by the Election Department for conducting working of SIR, therefore, one order dated 13.01.2026 was issued by the Competent Authority for [2026:RJ-JP:21732] (2 of 3) [CW-8472/2026] withdrawing the transfer orders passed in respect of employees, who have been assigned duties in SIR, however, such withdrawal was only till the period during which duty was there in SIR. 3. Grievance of the petitioner is that thereafter vide order dated 12.03.2026, the withdrawal order dated 13.01.2026 has also been further withdrawn by the Director Secondary Education and further directions were given that if, still a person is performing duties as per the directions of Census Department/Election Department then without seeking due permission from the authorities, she should not be relieved. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that despite the aforesaid circumstances, petitioner has been illegally relieved vide order dated 18.03.2026. Under these circumstances, she filed Appeal No.410/2026 before the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal, Jaipur (for short, 'the Tribunal'), which has been dismissed by the learned Tribunal vide order dated 30.04.2026. 5. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 6. It is a settled proposition of law that transfer is an incidence of service and no one can claim to be posted at a particular place for all times to come and it is well within the jurisdiction of the Government to transfer any employee as per administrative exigency. 7. In the instant case, this Court finds that although order dated 10.01.2026 was issued by the Competent Authority, yet only in order to avoid any contradiction between the orders passed by Census Department/Election Department, subsequent order [2026:RJ-JP:21732] (3 of 3) [CW-8472/2026] dated 13.01.2026 was issued for withdrawing the earlier inconsistent transfer orders, yet subsequently another order dated 12.03.2026 was passed, whereby transfer orders were revived subject to condition that persons transferred shall not be relieved without approval of the Competent Authority. 8. This Court finds that it has been recorded by learned Tribunal in its order dated 30.04.2026 that the petitioner was relieved vide order dated 18.03.2026 after due permission given by the District Collector and District Magistrate vide its order dated 17.03.2026. It has also been recorded that the District Collector and District Magistrate vide its order dated 17.03.2026 had cancelled the SIR/election/census duties of the employees, who were under transfer. Under these circumstances, this Court does not find any illegality or infirmity in order dated 30.04.2026 passed by the learned Tribunal, nor is there any illegality in transfer order dated 10.01.2026 and relieving order dated 18.03.2026. 9. In view of above, this Court finds that the writ petition filed by the petitioner is wholly misconceived and devoid of any merit, hence, the same, is hereby, dismissed. 10. Pending application(s), if any, stand(s) disposed of. (ANAND SHARMA),J 14/NEERU
