Full Judgment
1 Santosh Sharma versus State of MP and others W.P.No.11140/2012 27/07/2012 Shri V.D.S.Chauhan, learned counsel for the petitioner.
Shri Sanjeev Kumar Singh, learned PL for the respondents/ State.
Petitioner is working as a Water Pump Driver in Nagar Panchayat Vijayraghawgarh.
By the impugned order, petitioner has been transferred to Sihora District-Jabalpur and in the writ petition, it is stated that the distance between the two places are 130 km.
The aforesaid statement seems to be totally incorrect, the distance between the two places should be between 60 to 70 km and not more than that.
Be it as it may be, on the aforesaid ground, interference is not called for.
challenge is also made on the grounds of education of the petitioner's children, petitioner being a Class-IV employee and his parents being senior citizen, and also on the ground of seniority being maintained district wise.
On the aforesaid grounds, judicial review of an administrative order of transfer is not permissible and, therefore, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter.
Granting liberty to the petitioner to take recouRs.to the remedy of representation available, the petition is disposed of.
