INDERPAL Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) A. B. Srivastava, J. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought quashing of an order dated 27-6-1992 Annexure-SA. 1 of Director Panchayat Raj U. P. transferring the respondent No. 4 Sarjoo Prasad Dubey from the post of Dis trict Panchayat Raj Adhikan Banda to Farukkhabad.

(2.) THE petitioner claims that he was appointed Additional Development Officer (Panchayat) on 25-2- 1985 at Faruk khabad, later he was transferred to District Kanpur where he was confirmed on 8-4-1987 and thereafter transferred to Kan-nauj in District Farukkhabad in 1990 on the same post. Meanwhile by an order dated 14-12-90 of the Director of Panchayat Raj, 237 persons including the respondent No. 4 appointed to the post of Additional Development Officer (Panchayat) and by an order dated 17-12-1990 all these were confirmed. THE said confirmation was challenged in writ peti tion No. 1716 of 1991 (Balram Sharma v. State of U. P.) and by an order dated 12-1-1991, the operation of the two orders was stayed. Meanwhile the then District Panchayat Raj Officer Farukkhabad having been suspended by an order dated 27-4-1992, the petitioner was appointed to the said post in a casual vacancy and joined the said post. Later by an order dated 12-5-1992 he was given a regular appointment as District Panchayat Raj Officer in the scale of Rs. 2000-3500 vide Annexure-7. Despite the said promotion and in viola tion of the interim order of this Court, the Director transferred the respondent No. 4, an Additional Development Officer, to the post of District Panchayat Raj Officer Farukkhabad and in this way the petitioner is illegally sought to be ousted from the post of District Panchayat Raj Officer and replaced by a person junior to him.

(3.) THE petitioner has not made out any case worth interference by this Court.
