HC dismisses Scientist’s plea
Chandigarh, November 5 He had challenged the Central Administrative Tribunal’s refusal to quash his transfer from Mohali to Bangalore. He had contended that the order of transfer was actuated by malafides on the part of director- general, Standardisation, Testing and Quality Certification, and Mohali ETDC director Ravinder Sahi. Assailing the validity of the transfer orders, the applicant argued that the malafide on the part of the respondents was evident from the fact that two orders were issued the same day. One order was without the applicant’s name, while the other contained the same. The issuance of the transfer orders on the same day with the same dispatch number indicated malafides. But the division bench comprising of Justice Permod Kohli and Justice Tejinder Singh Dhindsa declined to accept the arguments. Advocate Kapil Kakkar, specially engaged by the Union Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, argued that the transfer orders were not issued at the level of director-general or director, ETDC, Mohali, but were issued in pursuance of the transfer committee proceedings held on May 10. Speaking for the Bench, Justice Kohli held that it is settled law that the transfer was an incidence of service and no employee or government servant has any vested right to remain posted on a particular post or place. “From the averments made in the petition, it is also found that the petitioner was posted in Mohali in April 2005 as Scientist ‘E’ and has been transferred vide order dated July 8, 2011 i.e. after a period of more than six years. The petitioner should not have any grouse against his transfer after a long stay of six years. We do not find any valid ground warranting interference in the judgment of the Tribunal or the order of transfer,” held the Bench.

Disobeying court orders
Panchkula, November 5 It was on October 20 that the court allowing temporary injunction (interim relief) application filed by a Panchkula-based couple, Pankaj and Sangeeta Chandgothia seeking relief from the stray cattle menace in the city, issued direction to the authorities. Now the officials have been asked to explain by November 25, as to why they would not be punished for disobedience of court orders. Advocate and social activist Pankaj Chandgothia had earlier filed a public interest litigation accusing them of neglecting their duties of safeguarding commuting public. Chandgothia submitted that stray cattle are often found sitting or moving in the middle of busy roads leading to sudden breaking by vehicles, giving rise to the risk of accidents and resultant injuries and loss of life and also damage to vehicles. The authorities concerned are turning a blind eye to the grave problem, he submitted. Arguing today for the issue of contempt proceedings, Chandgothia contended that the authorities had various powers under Section 10 of the Cattle Trespass Act, 1977 and Sections 268, 283, 337 and 338 of the Indian Penal Code, which enable them to deal with the menace effectively, but the defendants were deliberately not utilising these powers.

The complainant Paamjit Kaur said she had purchased a life insurance policy for a sum assured of Rs 1,87,500 against annual premium of Rs 25,000. She deposited a sum of Rs 25,000 as premium with the opposite party on March 25, 2008, however, after completing all formalities, the company failed to deliver the certificate of policy document. She then requested the company for the cancellation of the policy on June 10, 2008 and also for refund of an amount of Rs 25,000. She alleged that instead of cancelling the policy, the insurance company sent a premium notice dated February 16, 2009 for depositing the second installment of the premium. The counsel for the opposite party contended that the complainant had signed the proposal form after understanding the terms and conditions and implication of the policy. The policy in question was taken in March, 2008. The original document along with other material was received by the complainant on March 28, 2008 and denied that the complainant did not receive the original policy documents as the same has been delivered to her through speed post. The opposite party further pleaded that the complainant was well aware about the period of exercising free look option was 15 days and not 3 months and if she was not satisfied, she had the option of “right to reconsider” and thereafter, make a request for the cancellation of the policy within 15 days. The forum observed that the opposite party had failed to produce any evidence regarding the specific defence and the plea that the original documents along with other material was received by the complainant.
