The petitioner claims to be an Assistant in the Office of Respondent No, 3/DDO Agriculture (Extension) Chunian, and was transferred and posted in said Office of Respondent No, 3 vide order dated 31.12.2005 on his request by Respondent No, 2, who is Director General Agriculture (Extension), Punjab, Lahore after the Respondents Nos,3 and 4 had given no objection certificate in the matter of transfer of the petitioner from the Office of Respondent No, 4, i,e,, DDO Agriculture, Jhelmn to the Office of Respondent No, 3 at Chunian on the ground that the petitioner was disabled person and resident of District Kasur permanently.
2. Presently the petitioner feels aggrieved against the order passed by Director General Agriculture (Extension), Punjab, Lahore, dated 30.5.2008, whereby the petitioner has once again been transferred and posted in the Office of Respondent No, 4 at Jhelum.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that since the petitioner is a disabled person and is permanent resident of Kasur, therefore, as earlier no objection certificate was issued by Respondents Nos,3 and 4 for transfer of the petitioner from Jhelum to Kasur (Chunian), therefore, once against the petitioner cannot be transferred to Jhelum vide impugned order dated 30.5.2008 passed by Respondent No,
2. He submitted that further grievance is that Respondent No, 4 is not giving him joining in his office on the ground that there is no vacancy with him. He submitted that then the petitioner filed an application to Respondent No, 2 but no action has been taken on his application, hence present constitutional petition.
4. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner at this preliminary stage, since the matter relates to transfer of the petitioner who claims to be an Assistant with respondent/Department, therefore, no writ lies against a transfer order of a Government servant by the competent authority as his case is hit by Article 212(3) of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, as has also been held in Zahid Akhtar Vs. Government of Punjab through Secretary Local Government and Rural Development, Lahore, and two others (PLD 1995 SC 530) followed by a Judgment of this Court passed in Bilqaees Akhtar, Nursing Instructor Vs. Government of Punjab (2006 PLC (C.S) 952).
Therefore, this petition is not maintainable. However, since the petitioner claims to have filed some representation/application to Director General, Respondent No, 2, the said respondent is directed to expedite the disposal of said representation/application of the petitioner.
5. With the above observation, this petition stands dismissed in limine.
