' The petitioner has assailed the validity of the order, dated 23-4-1995 passed by the Director, Rapid Soil Fertility Survey and Soil Testing Institute, Lahore whereby the petitioner was transferred from Sargodha to Jhelum. The grounds urged are that the impugned order is in violation of Articles 4 and 25 of the Constitution; has been passed without independent application of mind; under political pressure and that the minister does not figure anywhere in the statute to order or direct transfer of the Government servant.
' The proposition being convassed in this petition came up for consideration before the Honourable Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of Zahid Akhtar v. Government of Punjab through Secretary, Local Government and Rural Development, Lahore and 2 others PLD 1995 SC 530 and it was observed by their Lordships that it was the duty of the Secretary concerned to have pointed out to the Minister concerned the extent of his authority in matters of transfer/posting besides bringing to his notice that such frequent transfer of . Government servants could neither be justified as the exigencies of service nor it could be described in the public interest. However, in view of the bar contained in Article 212 of the Constitution, the petition was disposed as being not maintainable.
3. In view of the authoritative enunciation by Honourable Supreme Court there is no option left for me except to dismiss the writ petition. . However, the petitioner may approach the Secretary concerned and bring to his notice all the facts of the case who is duty bound to act in the matter in the light of decision of the Supreme Court.
