The petitioner, who is working as Female Health Worker, and posted at Sub Centre Gulling, District Lahaul & Spiti, HP, w.e.f. 17.9.2012, has come up before this Court seeking her transfer from a tribal area to one of the stations of her choice, as per clause 16.1 of the Comprehensive Guiding Principles-2013, of the transfer policy applicable in the State of Himachal Pradesh, which provides that the normal tenure of stay of posting in Most Difficult/Difficult/ Tribal/Hard areas shall be two winters and three summers. In this regard the petitioner has filed representation, which is still pending before the authorities concerned.

Consequently, this petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to make a fresh representation to the respondent/authorities concerned giving five stations of her choice, within one week from today, in accordance with the transfer policy. On receipt of such representation, the respondent/authorities shall consider the representation of the petitioner, in the light of the transfer policy occupying the field, and pass appropriate orders, within two weeks.

In case none of them have completed the normal tenure then the office of the respondent/authorities shall get in touch with the petitioner apprising her of vacant stations where the incumbents have completed their normal tenure and the possible places where the petitioner can be posted. Pending application(s), if any, are closed.
