On 14.7.2015 following order was passed by this Court:
"This contempt application has been filed for punishing the opposite party for willful disobedience of the order dated 29.05.2014 passed by this Court in Writ - A No. 28686 of 2014 (Brahm Dev Yadav and 5 others Vs. State of U.P. and 4 others) and judgment and order dated 12.06.2014 passed by this Court in Special Appeal No. 561 of 2014 (Alok Kumar Dixit Vs. State of U.P. and 8 others), judgment and order dated 07.04.2015 passed by this Court in Special Appeal No. 622 of 2014 (Anil Kumar Singh Vs. State of U.P. and 8 others), order dated 08.05.2015 passed by this Court in Writ - A No. 28686 of 2014 (Brahm Dev Yadav and 5 others Vs. State of U.P. and 4 others), order dated 30.04.2015 passed by this Court in Writ - A No. 24818 of 2015 (Santosh Kumar Mishra And 4 others Vs. STate of U.P. & another) and order dated 15.05.2015 passed by this Court in Special Appeal (Defective) No. 363 of 2015 (Bharat Suman Vs. State of U.P. & 6 others).
Sri Bhanu Pratap Singh, who appears for the opposite party no. 1 has filed an application praying therein that at least four weeks' further time may be granted for compliance of the aforesaid orders passed by this Court in various writ petitions which has been opposed by Sri Shailendra. Learned counsel for the applicant states that it is a delaying tactics of the opposite parties as the entire proceeding for appointment of the applicant and other similarly situated persons are held up due to which teaching work of the Junior Basic School throughout the State is suffering.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, four weeks' further time is allowed to opposite parties to comply with the aforesaid orders passed by this Court in its letter and spirit.
List on 17.08.2015.
In case, by that time the aforesaid orders are not complied with and affidavit of compliance is not filed, the opposite parties shall remain present before the Court for framing the charge."
Even after intimation given to the opposite party the order of the writ Court dated 29.5.2014 has not been complied with in its letters and spirit. The matter was again taken up on 21.8.2015 and the following order was passed:
"An affidavit has been filed duly sworn by Sri Sanjay Sinha, Secretary, U.P.Basic Education Board Allahabad.
In paragraph 3 of the affidavit, it is stated that appointment letters to the eligible candidates will be issued by 15th September, 2015. In view of the aforesaid situation, framing of charge is deferred till 15th September, 2015.
List this case on 16th September, 2015. In case, appointment letters are not issued to the all eligible candidates by 15th September, 2015, the opposite parties no. 1 and 2 shall remain present before the court for framing the charge."
The matter was again taken up on 16.9.2015 and the case was adjourned on the request of the learned counsel for the parties fixing 23.9.2015.�
Today a supplementary affidavit of compliance has been filed duly sworn by Sri Sanjay Sinha Secretary, U.P. Basic Education Board, Allahabad. In paragraph 4 of the affidavit following averments have been made:
"4. That in compliance of the judgment/order passed byt his Hon'ble Court as many as 15098 eligible candidates have been appointed as Assistant Teacher (Science and Maths) in Parishadiya Junior High Schools in different districts of State out of 29334 vacancies; however the appointment against remaining/ relevant vacancies is under process."
Sri Shailendra, learned counsel for the applicant submits that it has wrongly been stated that 15098 candidates have been appointed. In his submission none of the candidates has yet been permitted to join.� On the contrary a stand has been taken in paragraph 4 of the supplementary affidavit of compliance that 15098 eligible candidates have been appointed and remaining candidates are not eligible. The submission is how this stand can be taken by the opposite party when this was the subject matter of the special appeal and special leave to appeal before the Apex Court.� Earlier the opposite parties vide order dated 14.7.2015 were directed to remain present before the Court. Thereafter an impleadment application was filed by Shri Shailendra, Advocate to implead Smt. Dimple Verma, Principal Secretary, U.P. basic Education, Lucknow, which was allowed and notice was issued.� Sri Bhanu Pratap Singh, learned counsel who appears for the remaining opposite parties was directed to accept notice.�
Pursuant thereto an affidavit of compliance has been filed duly sworn by Smt. Dimple Verma,Principal Secretary, U.P. basic Education, Lucknow. adopting the stand taken by the Secretary, U.P. Basic Education Board, Allahabad as has been discussed above which he has stated in paragraph 4 of the affidavit.�
Prima facie, alleged compliance of the writ Court's order appears to be an eye wash and the opposite parties are misleading the Court. Taking note of that both the opposite parties are directed to remain present before the Court on 12th October, 2015 pursuant to the order of this Court dated 29.5.2015. They are also directed to file their detailed affidavits, day to day steps taken by them after the order dated 29.5.2015
List on 12th October, 2015.�
Order Date :- 24.9.2015

Date of Decision : 20th January, 2016

State of Haryana and others ..Respondents

Civil Writ Petition No.17845 of 2013

Mahesh Kumar ..Petitioner

versus

The State of Haryana and others ..Respondents

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA
HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARI PAL VERMA

Present: Mr. Rajbir Sehrawat, Advocate, for the petitioner.

Mr. Ravi Dutt Sharma, Deputy Advocate General,
Haryana for the respondents.

RAJIVE BHALLA, J.
By this common order, we shall decide Civil Writ Petition Nos. 17139 and 17845 of 2013 as they involve adjudication of and answer of common questions of law. The facts necessary for adjudication are being taken from Civil Writ Petition No.17139 of 2013.

The petitioner prays that clauses 7,8 and 10 of the Inter District Transfer policy, dated 12.12.2012 may be quashed, insofar as it does not allow a male teacher, covered by a definition of a couple case, to get transferred to the place of posting of his wife, who is KUMAR VIRENDER 2016.01.21 15:52 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this docunt High Court Chandigarh also a teacher.

A brief narrative of the facts would be appropriate. The petitioner is working as a Hindi Teacher at Government Senior Secondary School Bajghera, District Gurgaon. The petitioner got married to Sunita Rani, also a teacher posted at Government High School Bibarkatabad District Jhajjar. The petitioner and his wife are blessed with two children who are studying at a school in Bahadurgarh. The petitioner applied for an Inter-District transfer to the place of posting of his wife and submitted an affidavit that he is willing to forgo his seniority in District Gurgaon. The petitioner's case for transfer was rejected on the ground that as per clauses 7, 8 and 10 of the Inter District Transfer Policy dated 12.12.2012, a female alone can seek transfer and then also to the place of posting of her husband.

Counsel for the petitioner submits that admittedly, the petitioner and his wife are teachers working in the Education Department and, therefore, a couple case. The purpose of clauses, namely, 7, 8 and 10 of the Inter District Transfer Policy is to allow couples to live together but these clauses permits a female employee alone to seek transfer to the place of posting of her husband. The clauses, as framed, work to the detriment of a couple as the wife alone can join the husband and not vice versa. The purpose of these clause is to ensure that couples, working in the same department, reside at the same station but the clauses as framed operate to the detriment of a family. A wife may be posted at a better place and, therefore, a couple may decide to live together KUMAR VIRENDER 2016.01.21 15:52 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this docunt High Court Chandigarh at the place of her posting but clauses 7, 8 and 10 of the Policy as framed, do not allow a wife or a husband to pray for such a transfer. The clauses, therefore, not only perpetuate a discrimination but in a given situation defeat the very object of the policy. Counsel for the petitioner further submits that the policy, as framed, limits the option of a lady teacher as she can only be posted at the place where her husband is posted. The question is not one of making of a special provision for females but whether the object of these clauses, to ensure that couples employed in the same department, reside together is fulfilled or frustrated by these clauses.

Counsel for the State of Haryana, on the other hand, submits that the petitioner is serving as a Hindi teacher, a district cadre post. The cadre has already been declared a diminishing cadre. The petitioner's arguments that clauses 7, 8 and 10 of the Policy are violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution disregards that Article 15(3) of the Constitution empowers the State to make a special provision for women and children. The aforesaid clauses have been notified as special provisions to enable female teachers of the JBT and C & V cadres to join their husbands. The petitioner can not demand, whether on the basis of a vested right or otherwise that he be transferred to a particular place or that his wife should be allowed to pray for his posting to her place of posting. The petitioner's wife may always file an application for her transfer to petitioner's place of posting. Counsel for the State of Haryana also submits that a similar plea has already been rejected in Ramesh Chander versus State of Haryana and another (Civil Writ Petition KUMAR VIRENDER 2016.01.21 15:52 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this docunt High Court Chandigarh No.8132 of 2013), decided on 22.5.2013, by holding that policies are mere guidelines do not have statutory force.

We have heard counsel for the parties, perused the paper-book and contents of the policy.

The petitioner's grievance, briefly put, is that clauses 7, 8 and 10 of the Inter District Transfer Policy, which permit a female teacher to apply for an Inter District transfer, to the place of posting of her husband, discriminates against male employees and as these clauses do not allow a female teacher to pray that her husband be transferred to the place of her posting, defeat the very object of these clauses, namely, to ensure that couples reside together.

A relevant extract from the Inter District Transfer policy, namely, clauses 7, 8 and 10 read as follows:-

" 7 JBT/C&V Female Teachers who want transfer in the district where their husbands are working in district cadre under Education Department. All those female JBT/C&V teachers whose husbands are working in district cadre of other departments will also be considered in this group. 8 Such JBT/C&V female teachers who got married after joining their service and seek transfer in the district where husband/in-laws are residing.
9 XX XX XX 10 All such female JBT/C&V teachers who seek their transfer in the district where their husbands are working in State Cadre posts of State/Centre Govt./Local Bodies and KUMAR VIRENDER body corporate."
2016.01.21 15:52 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this docunt High Court Chandigarh A perusal of clauses 7,8 and 10 of the Inter District Transfer Policy reveals that the object underlining these clauses is to ensure that, wherever possible, couples should reside together by conferring a right upon a female teacher to seek transfer to the place of her husbands posting. The clauses, as framed, however, restrict this right to a female teacher alone without any corresponding right to a husband or a right to the wife, subject to the consent of the husband, to seek his transfer to the place of her posting. The question that, thus, calls for an answer is whether these clauses are arbitrary or fulfill only in part, the object sought to be achieved, namely, ensuring that couples reside together. The State of Haryana seeks to justify the policy on the anvil of Article 15(3) of the Constitution of India by pointing out that these clauses have been enacted as a special provision for women and, therefore, can not be challenged on the ground of discrimination. The State of Haryana also asserts that a policy being a mere guideline is immune from judicial scrutiny.

A policy is, undoubtedly, a guideline and falls to the policy making domain of the Executive but if a policy, is discriminatory or arbitrary or works to the detriment of a class or a category of persons it may, the situation so demanding, be subjected to judicial review. The Executive is required to ensure that a policy abides by all constitutional and statutory safeguards and if a policy is discriminatory or arbitrary or both cannot be shielded from judicial review subject, however, to any constitutional protection. KUMAR VIRENDER As already noticed, the policy, as framed, confers a right 2016.01.21 15:52 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this docunt High Court Chandigarh upon a female teacher to seek the transfer to the place of her husband's posting and, therefore, may be immune from the charge of discrimination on the anvil of Article 15(3) of the Constitution but as the object of clauses 7, 8 and 10, is to ensure that couples reside together, have no hesitation in holding that the clauses, as framed, do not fulfil the object sought to be achieved. The clauses confer a right upon a wife to seek transfer to the place of posting of her husband but with no right to pray that her husband be posted at the place of her posting. The principle underlining these clauses is to ensure that couples and their children reside together but operate only if the wife wants to be posted to the place of her husband's posting. A situation may arise and often does where a wife is posted at a better station. The couple may want the husband to join the wife but as a husband cannot file an application and a wife has no right to request that her husband be posted at the place of her posting, the clauses, as framed, thus,would never allow such a couple to live together.

The policy, in our considered opinion, requires to be re- examined by the State of Haryana so as to consider whether the object underlining clauses 7, 8 and 10, namely, to ensure that couples live together, has been fulfilled.

Therefore, while holding that the policy enacts a special provision for females and is protected by Article 15(3) of the Constitution, the writ petition is disposed of by directing the State of Haryana to reconsider clauses 7,8 and 10 in the light of our observations and take a fresh decision, within six months. In case of KUMAR VIRENDER 2016.01.21 15:52 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this docunt High Court Chandigarh any modification in the policy, the petitioner's prayer for transfer to the place of posting of his wife, if affirmed by his wife, may be reconsidered.

Good Transfer Order - Transfer ko Policy/Guidelines/instructions ke taht kiya jaana chahiye, anyatha court dakhal de sakta hai -

The same law has been reiterated in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sanghthan Versus Damodar Prasad Pandey and Others 2004 (12) SCC 299 which has followed Abhonikanto Rai Versus State as well as noticed U.O.I. Versus S.L. Abbass. In Sarvesh Kumar Awasthi Ve U.P. Jal Nigam and others, 2003 Vol 11 SCC 740 , it was emphasized that transfer of officers is required to be effected on the basis of said norms and guidelines. Thus, taking the above law into account it cannot be said that if there is a violation of a published transfer policy/guidelines/instructions, the respondents can be allowed to justify the deviation by contending that the said policy not being statutory does not give any vested right or cause of action to the concerned employee

Advocates for the Applicant:- Shri N.P. Singh

Advocate for the Respondents:- Shri Anil Kumar Singh

O R D E R
DELIVERED BY HONBLE MS. JASMINE AHMED, MEMBER (J) By way of this original application filed under section 19 of the Administrative Tribunals Act 1985 the applicant has prayed for the following reliefs:-

A.) To issue a writ order in nature of certiorari quashing the impugned transfer order dated 18.04.2013 and rejection order dated 08.07.2013 in respect of applicant (Annexure No.A-1 and Annexure No.A-14) of the original application passed by the respondent no.3.

B) Issue a direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents not to interfere in the present working of the applicant as LDC GE Claimant Town, Dehradun and reconsider the matter in the light of latest transfer policy dated 27.08.2007 under the head of CML posting.

C) To issue any other writ order or direction as this Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.

D) To award cost to the applicant.

2. The brief facts of the case are that the applicant has been appointed as LDC with the respondents organization in the year 2007 and since then he is discharging his duties with the full satisfaction of his superior authorities. Suddenly the applicant has been transferred on 18.4.2013 from GE/CT Dehradun to CE Lucknow. This is the second round of litigation wherein this Tribunal by order dated 15.5.2013 in OA no.591 of 2013 (U) disposed of the OA with a direction to the respondents to decide the representation preferred by the applicant dated 11.3.2013 in the light of the rule position which is enumerated in the guidelines and also taking into consideration the personal problems of the applicant. It was also directed that the representation should be decided within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of that order. The respondents by letter dated 8.7.2013 disposed of the representation of the applicant dated 11.3.2013 regretting his request but the reply given by the respondents reflects the contradiction with their own published rules and guidelines.

3. The applicant assailed this OA challenging the reply dated 8.7.2013. By order dated 26.7.2013 the applicant was granted interim protection by staying the transfer order dated 18.4.2013 which is continued till date. The applicant is challenging the transfer order dated 18.4.2013 and also the rejection order dated 8.7.2013 on various points. He states that the transfer is against the transfer posting guidelines issued by the Ministry of Defence. The applicant is challenging the CML i.e. Command Manning Level posting. He states that as per Rule 36(b) of the CML posting guidelines dated 27.8.2007 he would be liable for transfer only on completion of six years service from 24.3.2009. The clause 36(b) of CML Posting reads as under:-

CML Posting will be normally from executive to executive except to the Home station of the individual concerned provided employees executive tenure is not acceded beyond six years continuously. All postings under CML shall be issued by end of March every year keeping in view the academic session of children and will be implemented latest by 15th May each year.

4. The counsel for the applicant states that as per these guidelines the applicant could not be transferred before completion of six years. He has also stated that while transferring the applicant respondents has followed pick and choose policy as employees are sitting at Dehradun since 10.5.2007 wherein the applicant was posted on 24.3.2009. He also states that as per clause 35 of CML Posting policy dated 27.8.2007 the transfer should be done between the command but not within the command meaning thereby the transfer should be inter command not intra command but here in this case the transfer order is intra command. The counsel for the applicant contends that even while transferring the applicant the respondents has violated the provision of 36(d) also as they have not asked the volunteers and newly recruited employees for opting transfer.

5. By the aforesaid contentions the applicant has emphasized that the transfer order passed by the respondent is based on pick and choose policy and against the published policy/guidelines/instructions. The respondents have violated their own guidelines with impunity and thus the said transfer order dated 18.4.2013 is liable to be quashed and set aside with all consequential benefits.

6. The respondents have filed their reply wherein they have stated that transfer is an incidence of service and also stated that no contravention of the guidelines dated 27.8.2007 has been made by the respondents. The respondents have stated that Central Command, Lucknow holding CML percentage of Civilian Clerical category was 63% as per which holding of Dehradun Complex was exceeding by 11 clerks. He also stated that as per para 36(a)and 36 (b) of the existing posting policy to maintain CML holding above command manning level percentage by Dehradun complex i.e. 11 individuals of Dehradun complex were require to be withdrawn and posted to other unit where deficiency existed to maintain informalities of CML. They have denied that any violation of policy dated 27.8.2007 has been committed by the respondents. The counsel for the respondents have further contented that the transfer under CML posting policy document/guidelines/instructions do not give any vested right to the applicant to challenge the impugned transfer order particularly when there is no statute on the question of transfer. The respondents have also contended that violation of transfer policy/guidelines/instructions does not vitiate the transfer order.

7. It is observed that there is no contradiction or dispute in the pleadings and arguments in the case that there exist a policy guidelines dated 27.8.2007. The only issue is where there is a published transfer policy/guidelines/instructions in existence and the transfer has been made in violation of the provisions of the same, can the respondents be allowed to justify the deviations by contending that the transfer policy/guidelines/instructions do not give any vested right to the applicant? Secondly, often the deviations from the published transfer policy/guidelines/instructions are sought to be justified on the ground of administrative requirement/exigency and in the interest of the organization or in public interest. Thus, the second issue that needs to be considered is what are the parameters for justifying the deviations on the ground of administrative requirement/exigency or in the interest of the organization or public interest.

8. It is seen that there is a very detailed and comprehensive transfer policy/guidelines/instructions for management of Group C and D Personnel of the MES issued and circulated on 27.8.2007 by the Directorate General(Personnel), Engineer-in-Chiefs Branch. The said policy/guidelines/instructions caters to very detailed and minute aspects of transfer and posting of the personnel of MES. The clauses and various provisions like clause 36(b) and 36(d) relied upon by the applicant as referred above clearly shows that the said provisions have been ignored by the respondent while transferring the applicant by the impugned order dated 18.4.2013.

9. Before going into the two specific issues identified above it would be appropriate to deal with one of the contentions of the respondents that the ordinary tenure of continuous six years mentioned in clause 36(b) of the said transfer policy/guidelines/instructions is only the maximum tenure and there is no bar of transferring an employee before the completion of the said tenure. The submission of the respondents must be examined from the point of view of the objective with which the said transfer policy/guideline/instruction has been issued. The very first paragraph of the said policy contends the objective of the policy. The same is quoted below:-

1. The Management of Group C & D of MES manpower rests with CEs of various Commands. There has to be uniformity in the policy, accordingly guidelines have been issued by this HQ letter No.79040/EIC (1) Dated 31 Aug 1994 and No.B/20148/PP/EIC(1) dated 16 April 2003 as amended from time to time. The said policy guidelines are uniformly applicable to all CEs Command irrespective of the their geographic spread and peculiarlties, number of Zones/complexes/station etc. There is need to consider the applicability and practical problems being faced by the employees in a particular Command and to draw out a comprehensive policy so as to suit the organizational need and Individual aspirations of Commands. The present policy has been evolved based on the experience gained through various representations received and interaction made with various employees unions and associations.

10. The very first paragraph, as quoted above is in the nature of preamble of the transfer policy it is clearly revealed that the transfer policy has been introduced with the view of bringing uniformity in transfers affected in various commands. While framing the policy, practical problems being faced by the employees have been given due consideration. Besides, it is also apparent that the policy is a comprehensive one dealing with almost every aspect of the transfer and has been evolved over a period of time based upon the difficulties mentioned in various representations in the past and interaction with employees unions and associations. Such a policy which has been evolved over a period of time based on the difficulties and problems faced by the employees and organizational needs cannot be construed as a mare piece of paper. When taking all the rival aspects into consideration, the competent authority has prescribed a continuous tenure of six years for an employee to be eligible for transfer then normally the said tenure must be adhered to unless there is an extra ordinary reason to curtail the tenure in any given case. The contention of the respondents that the same is only a maximum tenure cannot be accepted at its face value. In the context in which transfer policy has been framed and the objective behind the transfer policy, it must be held that the six years tenure prescribed in clause 36 (b) is both the maximum tenure as well as the normal tenure. If such an interpretation is not given, then the policy/guideline will loose its sanctity as an employee can be transferred at any time before the completion of his normal tenure. Thus the main objectives of the policy namely uniformity in all commands, the norms of transfer developed over a period of time by keeping individuals hardships and organizational needs will be reduced to a farce. It is not that in an emergency situation an employee cannot be transferred before the completion of his tenure. But any deviation from the said tenure has to be justified by the respondent case wise with reference to the material justifying a deviation. In the instant case, admittedly the applicant has not completed his normal and maximum tenure of six years nor any materials has been produced or pleaded to justify reduction of normal tenure in respect of the applicant.

11. Thus, as far as the first issue is concerned it may be noted here that the existence of a published transfer policy guidelines is not in dispute in this case at all. It is also not in dispute that as on date of issuance of the transfer order, the applicant had not completed his tenure of six years at GE/City Dehradun. But, the respondents contented that such policy/guidelines/instructions do not give any right to the applicant to challenge the transfer order, they being mare policy/guidelines/instructions and not statutory rules. The Honble Supreme Court in the case of Rajendra Roy Versus Union of India, 1993 (1) SCC 148, held as under:-

7.Unless such order is passed malafide or in violation of the rules of service and guidelines for transfer without any proper justification, the court and the tribunal should not interfere with the order of transfer.

12. Further, in the case of Abanikanta Ray Versus State of Orissa, 1995 Supp (4) SCC 169 the Honble Apex Court held as follows:-

10. It is settled law that a transfer which is an incident of service is not to be interfered with by the courts unless it is shown to be clearly arbitrary or vitiated by malafides or infraction of any professed norm or principles governing the transfer.

13. The same law has been reiterated in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sanghthan Versus Damodar Prasad Pandey and Others 2004 (12) SCC 299 which has followed Abhonikanto Rai Versus State as well as noticed U.O.I. Versus S.L. Abbass. In Sarvesh Kumar Awasthi Ve U.P. Jal Nigam and others, 2003 Vol 11 SCC 740 , it was emphasized that transfer of officers is required to be effected on the basis of said norms and guidelines. Thus, taking the above law into account it cannot be said that if there is a violation of a published transfer policy/guidelines/instructions, the respondents can be allowed to justify the deviation by contending that the said policy not being statutory does not give any vested right or cause of action to the concerned employee.

14. The second issue is about justifying a transfer order in violation of a published policy on the ground of administrative requirement or exigency or in the interest of the organization state or in public interest. As far as the present case is concerned, it may be noted here that though the respondents have mentioned in the counter affidavit that the transfer of the applicant has been effected in the interest of the state, no where the said interest of the state/organization has been explained. How the transfer of the applicant is in the interest of the state/organization? What administrative requirement or exigency compelled the respondents to transfer the applicant before the completion of his ordinary tenure of 6 years? Answers to these questions are not forthcoming either in the counter reply or in the oral submissions of the respondents.

15. The defence of administrative requirement/exigency or in the interest of state/organization or in public interest, in the context of transfer, mean only one and the same thing. These are various different words to describe an exigency in administration so as to justify a deviation from a professed norm. The word Exigency has been defined as follows in the New Lexicon Websters Dictionary:

a pressing need, the state or quality of being urgently needed. Blacks Law Dictionary, 8th Edition defines the same word as follows:

A state of urgency; a situation requiring immediate action Similarly, William C. Burtons Legal Thesaurus defines the word as follows:

Crisis, critical situation, difficulty, pressing necessity, pressure, urgent need.

16. Thus, from the above authentic definitions, it is clear that an administrative exigency is a very pressing necessity, a critical necessity and a situation of great urgency. Thus, normal situations or circumstances do not come under the purview of administrative exigency. If the situation is a routine situation or a normally prevalent situation, then the contention of administrative exigency/requirement etc. has to be rejected. Further, to invoke the defence of administrative exigency/requirement or its various synonyms like in the interest of the organization or in public interest, the pressing need, or the critical situation etc. must be demonstrated in the pleadings of the respondents duly supported by the office files on the basis of which such counter affidavits are prepared. Thus, to summarize, to advance the argument of administrative exigency or its various synonyms as noticed above, the pressing need, critical situation etc. must have been considered by the competent authority in the files and also must have been demonstrated in the counter affidavit. Conversely, in the absence of any pleadings containing details of pressing needs, urgent or difficult situation necessitating a deviation from the professed norms, the defence of administrative exigency and its various synonyms would not be available to the respondents.

17. In other words administrative requirement or exigency is not a mantra to be uttered by the respondents to get the benefit of the same, but has to be demonstrated by pleadings and supporting materials. In the instant case except for uttering the word in the interest of the State/organization as a mantra, nothing has been mentioned about any pressing need or difficult or critical situation etc. to justify a deviation from the published and professed norms in the form of policy/guidelines/instructions. Thus, in the facts of the case where there is no pleadings to justify any exigency, the contention of the respondents deserves to be rejected.

18. Clause 52 of the transfer guidelines dated 27.8.2007 states generally Group C And D employees should not normally be transferred from one station to another station except in very special circumstances like adjustment of surplus and deficiency, promotion, compassionate ground/mutual basis, exigencies of service on as an administrative requirement. The respondents in their rejection letter dated 8.7.2013 taken the plea of 11 numbers extra holding of CML and has stated longest stayees were required to be taken off from Dehradun complex and posted to where deficiency is existing as per CML. But it is found that there are employees who have been retained at Dehradun who were posted at Dehradun much before the applicant hence the contention of the respondents are proved to be incorrect as they have not followed the seniority position while dealing with CML posting which is contradiction of Clause 55 of the transfer guidelines dated 27.08.2007. It is also stated by the counsel for the applicant as well as by the representation of the applicant that in one hand the respondents are stating that there are surplus staffs in clerical cadre, on the other hand to cope up with clerical work, 5-6 industrial workers are deployed for clerical work. He also stated that the industrial workers are from different grades and are not expected to be shifted from their respective discipline to deal with clerical work. He states that the applicant in his representation took this categorical plea but the respondents did not reply anything on this point which clearly reflects that the plea of surplus and satisfaction level is very artificially manipulated just to harass the employees of lower starta, keeping in view their megre salary Government of India has time and again by its various orders prohibited the transfer of group C and D employees.

19. In view of the above discussion, the OA succeeds. The impugned transfer order under CML posting dated 18.4.2013 in respect of the applicant is quashed and set aside. Similarly the order dated 8.7.2013 rejecting the representation of the applicant is also quashed and set aside. The applicant would be entitled to all consequential benefits. However, in the facts of the case, the parties are left to bear their own costs.

                                          ...RESPONDENTS

(By Sri M.R. Shailendra, Adv. for R1 & R2;
    Sri B.K. Sampath Kumar, Adv. for R3)

     This petition is filed under Articles 226 and 227 of
the Constitution of India, praying to quash the order
passed by the 2nd respondent dated 03.02.2014 vide
Annexure-D.

     This petition coming on for preliminary hearing in 'B'
group this day, the Court made the following:

                           ORDER

The petitioner and the respondent No.3 are working as Work Inspectors in Cotton Pet Sub-Division of Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike. By an Office Order dated 03.02.2014 vide Annexure-D, the petitioner having been posted to Ward No.121 and the respondent No.3, who was working in Ward No.121, having been posted to Ward No.109, this writ petition was filed assailing the order as at Annexure-D.

2. Sri S.N. Bhat, learned advocate, contended that the impugned order of transfer is arbitrary, since, there is frequent shifting of the petitioner from one Ward to another, on account of interference of politicians and at the behest of the respondent No.3 and hence, interference is called for.

3. Sri M.R. Shailendra, learned advocate, for respondents 1 and 2, on the other hand, contended that the impugned order was issued in exigencies of the service and being an administrative decision and also that the offices of Ward Nos.109 and 121 being in one and the same building, cannot be construed as transfer and cannot be permitted to be assailed in the writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

4. Sri B.K. Sampath Kumar, learned advocate, for respondent No.3, submitted that there being no rules framed by the BBMP in respect of transfers and that the transfers being effected on the basis of Councilors' working relationship with the Work Inspectors and the petitioner having wielded political influence and got his transfers effected earlier, cannot assail the order as at Annexure-D.

5. While hearing the case, after noticing from the record that the petitioner and the respondent No.3 had been posted as against each other's post frequently and since, both the petitioner and the respondent No.3 had secured recommendations from the Corporators, MLAs and also Ministers, for their retention and postings, the Commissioner of BBMP was directed to appear before the Court. Sri Lakshmi Narayana, Commissioner, BBMP, appeared on 10.03.2014. In view of the displeasure expressed on the frequent transfers and postings effected, though within the same zone, but on the basis of the recommendation letters issued by the politicians, which is not in administrative exigencies, the Commissioner was directed to come up with a proposal to avoid the frequent transfers and to prevent the political interference. The Commissioner submitted that a resolution dated 30.08.2012 was adopted by the BBMP with regard to the minimum tenure of Group 'A' and 'B' Officers, as two years and in respect of Group 'C' and 'D' Cadres, as three years, in a place. The Commissioner submitted that, within the zone, the power to transfer has been delegated to the Joint Commissioners and in view of the developments noticed in this case, he assured that a Circular would be immediately issued, restricting the transfer and posting of Group 'C' and 'D' employees, within a zone, for a period of three years.

6. Sri M.R. Shailendra, filed a Memo and produced a Circular bearing No.B12(6A)/PR/363/2013-14, dated 20.03.2014, issued by the Commissioner, BBMP and submitted that, henceforth, the transfers/postings of Group 'C' and 'D' employees would be regulated in terms of the said Circular.

7. In SARVESH KUMAR AWASTHI Vs. U.P. JAL NIGAM, (2003) 11 SCC 740, Apex Court having noticed that transfers had been effected on the recommendations, either of Ministers or MLAs/MPs/MLCs, has held as follows:-

"In our view, transfer of officers is required to be effected on the basis of set norms or guidelines. The power of transferring an officer cannot be wielded arbitrarily, mala fide or an exercise against efficient and independent officer or at the instance of politicians whose work is not done by the officer concerned. For better administration the officers concerned must have freedom from fear of being harassed by repeated transfers or transfers ordered at the instance of someone who has nothing to do with the business of administration."

8. In MOHD. MASOOD AHMAD Vs. STATE OF U.P, (2007) 8 SCC 150, considering a contention that the impugned transfer order of the appellant was made at the instance of an MLA and that the counter affidavit filed by the respondents stated that the appellant was transferred due to the complaints against him, Apex Court has held as follows :-

"............in our opinion, even if the allegation of the appellant is correct that he was transferred on the recommendation of an MLA, that by itself would not vitiate the transfer order. After all, it is the duty of the representatives of the people in the legislature to express the grievances of the people and if there is any complaint against an official the State Government is certainly within its jurisdiction to transfer such an employee. There can be no hard- and-fast rule that every transfer at the instance of an MP or MLA would be vitiated. It all depends on the facts and circumstances of an individual case."

9. In the case of SRI MRUTHYANJAYA N.V., Vs. STATE OF KARNATAKA AND OTHERS, W.P.No.56276/2013 decided on 12.12.2013, a transfer effected from the Panchayat Raj Engineering Division, Bangalore Rural, to the office of the Executive Engineer, Hebbal Division, BBMP, Bangalore, having been assailed and upheld by the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal, when challenged in a writ petition, a Division Bench of this Court, by taking note of the definition of 'transfer' under Rule 8(49) of the Karnataka Civil Services Rules, has held that the transfer from one office to another office within the same headquarters cannot be treated as transfer and none can make a grievance against such an order of transfer from one office to another office on the ground that it is premature or arbitrary.

10. Petitioner and the respondent No.3 are holding transferable posts. Hence, the Commissioner or Delegated Authority, can effect the transfer/posting in exigencies of service and in the administrative interest and interference by the Courts, with the administrative decisions/ transfer orders, should only be in rare cases, as has been held by the Apex Court in catena of decisions, (see B. Varadha Rao Vs. State of Karnataka and others, AIR 1986 SC 1955,Mrs.Shilpi Bose vs. State of Bihar, AIR 1991 SC 532, Union of India vs. N.P. Thomas, AIR 1993 SC 1605 and Union of India vs. S.L. Abbas, (1993) 4 SCC 357), since, transfer is an incident of service and is made in administrative interest. However, if there is 'malice' based on firm foundation of facts pleaded and established and not merely on insinuations and vague allegations, there can be interference.

11. In RAJENDRA SINGH Vs. STATE OF U.P., (2009) 15 SCC 178, Apex Court has held that the Courts are always reluctant to interfere with transfer of employees unless such transfer is vitiated by violation of some statutory provision or suffers from mala fides.

12. In the instant case, it is to be observed that the challenge to the impugned order of transfer is not based on the violation of any statutory provision regulating service conditions of the employee or by an Authority not competent to do so. The case of the petitioner is that there is frequent transfer and the same is arbitrary. The record of the case shows that both the petitioner and the respondent No.3 have produced the minutes/notes of Ministers, MLAs and the BBMP Councilors, in the matter of their posting, to a particular Ward. Undisputedly, the offices of both the Wards, wherein, the petitioner and the respondent No.3 are working are situated in one and the same building. Thus, there can be no hardship of whatsoever nature either to the petitioner or to the respondent No.3 on account of the transfer, though more than once in an year i.e., from the one Ward to another Ward in the same Sub-Division of BBMP.

13. S.69 of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976 (for short 'the Act'), reads thus:

"69. Control over Corporation Establishment.- Subject to the provisions of this Act, rules and regulations, the Commissioner shall specify the duties of persons borne on the Corporation establishment and exercise powers of supervision and control over them and decide all questions relating to their conditions of service."

The Commissioner, BBMP, has issued the Circular bearing No.B12(6A)/PR/363/2013-14, dated 20.03.2014, in exercise of the power vested in him under the above provision. The material portion of the Circular reads as follows:

14. In view of the above and the undertaking given by the Commissioner of BBMP by way of affidavit filed in this case, that the transfers and postings of the employees in Group 'C' and 'D' Cadres, henceforth, would be regulated in terms of the said Circular, I find no justification to interfere with the impugned order of transfer.

Consequently, the challenge to the impugned order fails. However, the Commissioner/Delegated Authority, BBMP, henceforth, shall effect the transfers and postings, in terms of the Circular, extracted supra.

Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs.

Good Transfer order - Isme Court ne Transfer Me Legal Malice Paya aur Yachi ko Rahat Dee -

Good Transfer order - Isme Court ne Transfer Me Legal Malice Paya aur Yachi ko Rahat Dee -

Yeh Order bhee ek Najeer bane Supeme Court ke Transfer Order ke aadhaar par nirneet hua hai:
In Sarvesh Kumar Awasthi vs. U.P.Jal Nigam and others, (2003) 11 SCC 740, the Supreme Court held:-
"In our view, transfer of officers is required to be effected on the basis of set norms or guidelines. The power of transferring an officer cannot be wielded arbitrarily, mala fide on an exercise against efficient and independent officer or at the instance of politicians whose work is not done by the officer concerned. For better administration the officers concerned must have freedom from fear of being harassed by repeated transfers or transfers ordered at the instance of someone who has nothing to do with the business of administration."
-------------
However, it is definitely within the competence of the Tribunals/Courts to go into the transfer order where the transfer on administrative grounds is not justified of the scales that have been enumerated earlier. In Sarvesh Kumar Awasthi versus U.P. Jal Nigam and Others [2003(11)SCC 740] wherein the Honble Supreme Court has held as under:-

ORDER
The instant OA filed under Section 19 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 is directed against the order of the Respondent No.l dated 25.04.2013 transferring the applicant from Gokhle Marg-SBV (North) to Dhakka GBSSS (North West A).

2. The case of the applicant is that he was admittedly working as TGT (Natural Science) in Sarvodaya Bal Vidyalaya (SBV) No.1, Mori Gate, Delhi-110 006. It is the case of the applicant that there was one teacher namely Neeta Bahl, Lecturer (Physics), wanted that boy namely Pankaj, who had been found indulging in gross indiscipline to the extent of when having a can of beer in his hand on a particular occasion. One Braham Prakash, father of Pankaj, applied and was granted Transfer Certificate (TC) at his own volition. Now, he wanted re-admission of his ward in the same school. His case was espoused by Neeta Behl, who misbehaved with the applicant in presence of the Head of the School. The applicant further complained that earlier also he had filed complaints against said Neeta Behl, who exceeded her jurisdiction and insulted him on many occasions. The case of the applicant was supported by the Head of the Institution. The complaint of the applicant was twice enquired into, the first time by one Dr. Neeraj, Principal, Shaheed Amir Chand Govt. Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, Sham Nath Marg, Delhi and the secondly by two lady Principals/HOS who, after following the due procedures under the rule of natural justice, supported the version of the applicant.

3. In the meanwhile, the applicant was promoted to the post of Lecturer (Political Science) vide order dated 26.09.2012 and was transferred to Govt. Boys Senior Secondary School, ID No.1309009, Dhaka. However, the applicant was transferred from GBSS, Dhaka to SBV Gokhle Marg, New Delhi in partial modification of the office order dated 26.09.2012 by issuing a corrigendum dated 12.10.2012. On 18.10.2012, the applicant was relieved from Mori Gate No.1 SBV to take up his assignment at Gokhle Marg SBV. On 23.04.2013, said Neeta Bahl was also transferred on the administrative grounds from SBV No.1, Mori Gate to Roop Nagar, No.1-GGSSS (North). On 25.04.2013, the applicant was again transferred by the impugned order from SBV, Gokhle Marg North to Dhakka-GBSSS North-West-A.

4. The applicant has taken the plea that he was the injury party as said Neeta Bahl misbehaved with him on more than one occasion. His stand has been totally supported by the report of the Head of the School and also by the two Inquiry Reports, as mentioned earlier. However, instead of taking action against the said Neeta Bahl, who had used political influence, the Director of Education had to transfer the applicant on the basis of the report of the enquiry officer, who conducted the inquiry at the back of the applicant and without even having associated the applicant or the school teachers. It is the further case of the applicant that he was not furnished the report of the inquiry officer and was transferred out. In the second place, he also questioned the administrative propriety of the action. He had already been transferred out on the place of conflict that being SBV No.1, Mori Gate. Hence, there was no administrative purpose involved in transferring him out from his subsequent assignment at SBV (ID No.1207014-North). In the third place, the said Neeta Bahl had been working in the SBV No.1, Mori Gate for last 18 years and her transfer was fully justified on account of the complaints against her as established in the different inquiry report and also the report of the HOS. The applicant has, therefore, sought the following reliefs:-

(a) Quash/set aside the transfer order No.DE.2(8)(189)/E-2/2008/6108-12 dated 25.04.2013 passed by the Directorate of Education whereby the applicant is transferred from SBV, Ghokhle Marg (1207014) North to Dhakka-GBSSS (1309009) North-West-A;

allow the cost of litigation;

Pass any order or further order which this Honble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of this case.

5. The respondents have filed their counter affidavit wherein they have taken up the stand that who should be posted where is the prerogative of the employer and, in view of catena of judgments of Honble Supreme Court, the Tribunals/Courts should not normally interfere in such process. The submission of the respondents is that the transfer has been indicated on the basis of the inquiry report conducted by one Suman Kataria, Dy. Director of Education (West), who submitted her report on 14.12.2012 recommending that both the teachers be transferred. The instant Transfer has, therefore, been taken on administrative grounds in response thereof. In support of this, the respondents have relied upon the earlier cases of State of M.P. Vs. Sh. S.S.Kourav & Ors [1995 (3) SCC 270], S.C.Saxena Vs. Union of India [(2006) 9 SCC 583], Shilpi Bose (Mrs.) vs. State of Bihar, [1991 Supp (2) SCC 659], Union of India Vs. S.L.Abbas [1993, Vol.3, SCC 357], National Hydroelectric Power Corpn. Ltd. Vs. Shri Bhagwan, [2001 Vol. 8 SCC page 574], Union of India Vs. H.N.Kirtania [(1989) 3 SCC 445] and State of UP Vs. Goverdhan Lal [(2004 11 SCC 402)].

6. The sole issue in the instant case to be decided is that whether this transfer is justified on administrative grounds or is marred by procedural malice? It is well admitted that the applicant had served as TGT (Natural Science) SBV No.1, Mori Gate, Delhi 110 006 where he had strong differences with one Neeta Bahl. It further appears that the grievance is related to encroachment of the applicants rights by said Neeta Bahl in the form of encircling his attendance sheets. The issue appears to have risen over the matter of admission of one Pankaj, who had earlier taken TC following series of complaints against him. It is further admitted that the Head of the School appears to have supported the version of the applicant as would be apparent from his report to the TGT, North Lucknow Road, Delhi 6. He holds that the complaint of the said Neeta Bahl using unparliamentary language was not substantiated. To the contrary, the complaint of behaviour of Neeta Bahl against the applicant was unacceptable, which reads as under:-

4. Same day or the day after that Mr. Brahm Prakashs complaint come in light. Mr. Braham Prakashs ward Pankaj was a student of this school from 6th class and asked for SLC last year. Undersigned got so many complaints regarding bad behavior of Pankaj from his class colleagues and other students that he has been snatching money from other students, beating them and even on one occasion our school peon Mr. Surender saw him having a can of beer in his hand. Mr. Surender tried to capture him but he escaped from school premises by jumping over school boundary wall. Mr. Braham Prakash who was a PTA official too himself was worried of his ward activities and thus thought of shifting his ward to any of his relative and thus applied for SLC of his ward.

Till the time Mr. Braham Prakash applied for SLC of his ward he never complained of using any case based words or any type of bad behavior by any of my staff member neither in PTA meetings nor in personal to me. In the application for SLC in the column of reason he did not mentioned bad behavior of any of may teacher due to which he was forced to leave the school.

7. I took the suggestion from Kapil Mohan Sharma and Mr. Promod Kumar Sharma (Admission incharge) in this respect who after confirmation suggested me to request Mr. Braham Prakash and his sister to take approval of Honourable Director of Education as none up to the level of D.D.E. or R.D.have the power to make admission in the month of December.

I communicated the same to Mr. Braham Prakash and his sister and they further went to Mrs. Neeta Bahl for help. Mrs. Neeta Bahl promised me that she shall help Mr. Braham Prakash for seeking the permission from Director of Education using her political links and till then she requested to allow Pankaj to sit in the class and give him provisional admission.

8. Mrs. Neeta Bahl could not bring the permission from Director of Education and gave a letter from Honorable HRD minister Sh. Kapil Sibbal at the end of February. She threatened me that on behalf of that letter I have to allow Pankaj to sit in examination or me has to face the charge of spoiling career of a scheduled caste student.

9. A lawyer placed a RTI application in the end of March, 2012 asking questions regarding this admission as a result of which Mrs. Neeta Bahl and Mr. Braham Prakash made these complaints against Mr. Kapil Mohan Sharma, Mr. R.T.Sharma and Mr. Pramod Kumar Sharma (Admission In charge).

7. The Principal has given statement to the single effect to the S.H.O. Kashmiri Gate, Police Station. The applicant in his rejoinder has submitted the copy of the Inquiry Report by the Committee comprising of two lady Principals. The relevant para of the report is self-contained, which reads as under:-

In this connection, it is pertinent to mention that earlier a complaint was received from Shri Kapil Mohan Sharma also against Mrs. Neeta Bahl, PGT (Physics) with the following allegations:-

1. That Mrs, Neeta Bahl, PGT (Physics) herself and with the help of some parents have been making forged complaint in police against him and other staff members.

2. That Mrs. Neeta Bahl, PGT (Physics) made charge against him of using un parliamentary language in the presence of Principal and other staff members. Principal and staff members denied her allegations stating this allegation baseless and same report was send to the Police officials. Now she instigated Mr. Braham Prakash father of a student for making allegation against him and other staff members under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

In the inquiry report, it has been concluded that :-

The Committee is of the firm opinion that the complaint of Shri Kapil Mohan Sharma is very genuine. Evidences clearly indicate that Mrs. Neeta Bahl misused her gender and misbehaved with Shir Kapil Mohan Sharma and manipulated and lodge the complaints in the police station contrary to general belief of harassed person being harassed. Not only that Mrs. Neeta Bahl is misguiding and instigating the students and parents to get cheap popularity. Here are much evidences to establish that Mrs. Neeta Bahl may go to any extent to maintain her supremacy and to pressurize the male staff members and principal of the school. She mingle with them and went to their colony as is evident from her threat as stated by Vice Chairman of PTA and supported by General Secretary of PTA who happens to be a female too.

From the above, it appears that there is some conflict going on between these two officials and due to personal feud they are making allegations and counter allegations against each other. In view of above, it may be in the fitness of the things that both the officials should be transferred from the School. Further, it is learnt from the bio-data of the official that Shri Kapil Mohan Sharma has already been transferred to SBV, Gokhle Marg, Delhi on promotion as PGT.

8. It is very true that in the matters of transfer, the Courts/Tribunals are not required to intervene. In normal circumstances, intervention of the court would be only confined to such cases where either malafide is alleged and proved or there is a violation of some statute or where the laws of natural justice have not been respected. It is fully considered that the courts are not to go into the issue like justification of the administrative orders. However, it is definitely within the competence of the Tribunals/Courts to go into the transfer order where the transfer on administrative grounds is not justified of the scales that have been enumerated earlier. In Sarvesh Kumar Awasthi versus U.P. Jal Nigam and Others [2003(11)SCC 740] wherein the Honble Supreme Court has held as under:-

3. In our view, transfer of officers is required to be effected on the basis of set norms or guidelines. The power of transferring an officer cannot be wielded arbitrarily, mala fide or an exercise against efficient and independent officer or at the instance of politicians whose work is not done by the officer concerned. For better administration the officers concerned must have freedom from fear of being harassed by repeated transfers or transfers ordered at the instance of someone who has nothing to do with the business of administration. In Somesh Tiwari Vs. Union of India & Others [AIR 2009 SC 1399], the Honble Supreme Court has held as under :-

19. Indsiputably an order of transfer is an administrative order. There cannot be any doubt whatsoever that transfer, which is ordinarily an incident of service should not be interfered with, save in cases where inter alia mala fide on the part of the authority is proved. Mala fide is of two kinds- one malice in fact and the second malice in law.

20.. The order in question would attract the principle of malice in law as it was not based on any factor germane for passing an order of transfer and based on an irrelevant ground i.e. on the allegations made against the appellant in the anonymous complaint. It is one thing to say that the employer is entitled to pass an order of transfer in administrative exigencies but it is another thing to say that the order of transfer in administrative exigencies but it is another thing to say that the order of transfer is passed by way of or in lieu of punishment. When an order of transfer is passed in lieu of punishment, the same is liable to be set aside being wholly illegal.

9. It is for the Tribunal to ensure that the administrative authorities do not run contrary to the instructions and settle their scores with the employee by transferring them without any justification. It is also to be remembered that frequent transfers can also break the morals of an employee that is the reason norms of transfer have been set in two organizations. These norms are normally to be respected as such.

10. The facts narrated above clearly reveal that there were strong differences between the applicant and the said Neeta Bahl over the number of issues including the issue of admission of one Pankaj. The report of the Principal clearly initiated that the said Neeta Bahl pressurized the School Authority to admit Pankaj. Ultimately, the stand of the applicant and the school authority prevailed in as much as Pankaj could not procure admission after the stand of the applicant having been by the two successive Committees yet another Committee was set up. I am left wondering that even when the reports of the earlier two Committees were on record then where was the necessity to set up the third Committee. I also find that learned counsel for the respondents has nowhere in the counter affidavit covered the allegations of the applicant pertaining to violation of principles of natural justice and not involving him in the inquiry by Suman Kataria Committee.

11. I further take note of the fact that the applicant had already stood transferred out of the place of conflict on 18.10.2012 and not later on account of their promotion as soon as one of the conflicting parties was removed from the scene. The code of Administrative action was over. The administration has rightly transferred said Neeta Bahl from the school of Mori Gate as she has been serving there for 18 years.

11. It is admitted fact that the applicant has been transferred from present post SBV North to Dhakka-GBSSS prior to completion of ten years. It only indicates that somehow the authority was determined to find some kind of equity to conflicting party being the applicant and said Neeta Bahl. There cannot be an equity between the wrongdoer and his victim. Any system that is not able to differentiate between the two is basically unjust. Admittedly report submitted by the two lady Principals copy of which has been submitted by the respondents has followed the processes prescribed for inquiry. To the contrary the Suman Kataria Committee has not involved the applicant or the school authorities equating the injured with the wrongdoer. Therefore, to disregard this report and to rely upon the report of the said Suman Kataria is tantamount to the injury whatever conflict that might have existed stood resolved with the transfer of the applicant on promotion to Government Boys School, Dhakka on 26.09.2012. There is no administrative ground served by transferring the applicant from the SBV, Mori Gate.

12. In totality of facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the considered view that the impugned order is hit by legal malice and is not sustainable being bad in law. Therefore, the impugned transfer order dated 25.04.2013 is quashed and set aside. Resultantly, the instant OA stands allowed with no order as to costs.
