I have heard the learned Counsel for the parties. The transfer is incidence of the service. The Petitioner is serving within the radius of 25 kilometers for the last 12 years; No. malafide has been alleged against particular person in the petition for transferring Petitioner from Billanwali to Mangal. The transfer has not affected any conditions of service of Petitioner. In the transfer order itself, it has been stated that the transfer of the Petitioner has been made against vacancy by clubbing his stay within the radius of 25 kilometers. The Petitioner has failed to make out any case for interference. The contention of the learned Counsel for the Petitioner that the Petitioner may be allowed to continue at Billanwali to complete his normal tenure cannot be accepted. The Petitioner is serving within the radius of 25 KMs for the last 12 years. There is No. merit in the petition which is accordingly dismissed. The interim order vacated. CMP No. 4050 of 2011 disposed of.
