1. SAID SAODD JAN (CHAIRMAN) -The appellant is posted as a teacher in the Government High School, Kakrali, in District Gujrat. He challenges his order of transfer to Government High School, Kohar.
2. On going through his memorandum of appeal we were struck by the fact that during the course of one calendar year he had been subjected to six traps: fees. This appeared rather unusual and we called for the District Education Officer to report the circumstances, which had led to the frequent transfers of the appellant. The report has since been received and we have considered it.
3. It appears that the appellant was formerly posted in the Province of Baluchistan from where he vas transferred to the Punjab on his own request. On his transfer to the Punjab he was posted in the Government Middle School, Langhrial. On his own request he was again transferred for Lahghrial to the Government High School, Kakrali: When he was in Kakrali three transfer orders were passed one after another, Thus, first he was transferred to Mona Depot, then to Sohawa Bulani and finally to Kohar. The transfer to Mona Depot and Sohawa Bulani were cancelled before they became effective; as such, they must be ignored. The third transfer to Kohar, however, remains in force, The transfer of a Government servant from one place to another is a normal incident of his service.
4. Unless a transfer is attendant by extraordinary circumstances, this Tribunal would not interfere with the discretion of the com--petent authority in this regard. The reason given by the District Education Officer for the transfer of the appellant from Kakrah to Kohar is plausible. Kakrali is the home village of the appellant. According to report of the Dis--trict Education Officer there were complaints about the appellant that he was indulging in local politics. The appellant conceded before us that Kakrah is mainly, inhabited by members of his 'bradri'. We are not prepared to dischair the averment of the District E:lucation Officer in this regard. Consequently, the appellants' transfer to Kohar is not attended by any unusual circumstances. It may be pointed out that Kohar is only 40 miles away from Kakrali, which is not much.
5. For the reasons we do not think that this is a fit case for our interference with the order of transfer.
6. The appeal is without any merit and is hereby dismissed in limine.
