Case of the petitioner, in a nutshell, is that she has not been permitted to complete her normal tenure in Government Middle School, Ratti.

(3.) TRANSFER is an incident of service. The scope of judicial review in these matters is very limited. The Court may intervene only when the transfer has been made in infraction of any statutory rule or the same is actuated with mala fides. Petitioner has not alleged any specific mala fides.

Accordingly, we see no merit in the petition and the same is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. No costs.
