This Court comes across innumerable such cases where Government employees who are serving in transferable posts, seek to oppose and obstruct the transfer in every possible way, even though, they may have served at a particular station for very long tenures. As noticed herein and above, the petitioner is in a transferable post. When he joined the service, he was conscious of the fact that he can be transferred due to exigencies of his service in any part of the country. If the petitioner was so minded, and was not agreeable to serve in other parts of the country, he had the option not to join service. There is absolutely no merit in the petitioner‟s claim that the respondents have not adopted or applied the transfer policy fairly to him, particularly when, initially in his representation to the respondents he opposed his transfer mainly for his own illness, and board examinations of son, and the respondents sympathetically considered the representation and deferred the joining date at Kolkata. Today, none of these grounds survives. There is, thus, no merit in this petition.
