body2012
Judgment Rajiv Sharma, J. 1. Petitioner is working as Motor Mechanic Instructor. He was transferred to I.T.I. Bilaspur on 29.7.2004. He has been transferred to I.T.I. Chirgaon vide office order dated 6.9.2012. He has already completed his normal at I.T.I. Bilaspur. He had been serving at Bilaspur since 29.7.2004. 2. Mr. Devinder Sharma has vehemently argued that respondent No.4 was appointed on contract basis and would complete five years service in the month of October, 2012. 3. Transfer is an incidence of service. The scope of judicial review in these matters is very limited. Respondent No.4 would be completing five years service in the month of October, 2012. We may have intervened in this matter if respondent No.4 had only completed 3-4 years as contract employee. Since he has almost completed five years at the time of his transfer, we would not exercise discretionary jurisdiction to quash his transfer. 4. Accordingly, we see no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. No costs.
