...Respondents

CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN MONGA Present :

Mr. Parveen Kumar, Advocate, For the petitioner.

Mr. Pankaj Midda, Addl. AG, Haryana.

ARUN MONGA, J. (ORAL) Petitioner herein, inter alia, seeks issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing of impugned order dated 13.04.2022 (Annexure P-2), whereby petitioner has been wrongly transferred from Haryana Roadways, Kurukshetra to Haryana Roadways, Kaithal. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner also submitted representation Annexure P-3 but the same has not been adverted till date. Hence, the writ petition. 3.

I have heard learned counsels for the parties. 4.

Transfer being matter of administrative exigency, this Court generally refrains to interfere and treads cautiously, unless it is a case of extreme hardship. Moreover, transfer is not a punishment but an essential aspect of service, particularly, on a transferable post. SHALINI BHATIA 2022.05.10 19:04 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document.

5.

Online transfer policy, being a matter of policy, in itself is sufficient ground alone for this Court to refrain from interfering in the domain of policy making by State. It is expected that administrative decision on the pending representation shall be taken in accordance with law, keeping the transfer policy in mind.

6.

No grounds are made out to interfere.

7.

Dismissed.
