[2026:RJ-JP:13628] (2 of 3) [CW-5955/2026] order, the husband has been transferred to a place more than 550 kms away while wife is posted at Sikar. Therefore, the impugned order is seriously in violation of the transfer policy of the State Government. In view of the above, learned counsel prayed that the impugned transfer order being illegal, may be quashed and set

aside.

3. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner had earlier approached this Court by filing S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.17323/2025, which was decided by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 17.11.2025, granted liberty to submit a representation to the respondents, to be decided within a period of thirty days. He further submits that respondents rejected the said representation vide order dated 31.01.2026. He further submits that the petitioner has now approached this Court again

by way of the present writ petition.

4. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the

material available on record.

5. This Court has considered the fact that the petitioner is holding the post of Principal and was transferred on a vacant post at the place of transfer vide order dated 22.09.2025. The law in regard to the transfer is well settled and it is not in dispute that transfer is a part of service. The respondents have, therefore, rightly passed the transfer order, by which the petitioner has been

posted in a school against a vacant post.

6. This Court has also considered the transfer order dated 22.09.2025 as impugned in the writ petition as well as the order of rejection of representation dated 31.01.2026 and finds that no illegality has been committed by the respondents in

(D.B. SAW/349/2026 has been filed in this matter. Please refer the same for further orders)

[2026:RJ-JP:13628] (3 of 3) [CW-5955/2026] rejecting the representation. The respondents are well within their rights to transfer an employee in administrative exigencies to ensure that schools where posts are lying vacant are properly

staffed.

7. This Court finds no merit in the present writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order

as to costs.

8. Pending application(s) if any, also stands disposed of.
