JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AHSANUDDIN AMANULLAH ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA) Date: 28-07-2016 The challenge in the present Letters Patent Appeal is to an order dated 23rd October, 2013 passed by the learned Single Bench in C.W.J.C. No. 14371 of 2013 whereby, the transfer of the appellant from Gopalganj to West Champaran vide order dated 26.06.2013 was not interfered with.

The sole argument raised by learned counsel for the appellant is that there is no recital in the order of transfer that the appellant is being transferred on administrative reasons as it is mentioned that he is being transferred on the request of the District

Patna High Court LPA No.403 of 2014 dt.28-07-2016 2/2 Public Relation Officer.

The appellant has been transferred by the competent authority. Failure to use the word 'administrative reasons' will not make the transfer as without administrative reasons. The fact that there was request of the District Public Relation Officer is itself an administrative reason. Admittedly, the appellant was working at Gopalganj for last 30 years and his transfer at this stage to another station cannot confer enforceable right in favour of the appellant. We do not find any error in the order passed by the learned Single Bench which may warrant interference in the present Letters Patent Appeal.

The Letters Patent Appeal stands dismissed.
