Sh. Dilawar Hussain for Petitioner. The petitioner, who is a Tehsildar, presently serving as Consolidation Officer, Alipur, District Muzaffargarh, has been ordered to report to the Board of Revenue for his further posting, vice Mr. Tanvir Durrani, respondent No.
3. He has filed this writ petition under Article 199 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
2. There is obviously no force in the plea that without assigning any reason, or before expiry of the normal tenure, a civil servant is not liable to transfer anywhere. Similarly, the plea that the petitioner has to look after his old ailing parents or that he would face a host of problems and hardships, or his family life or education of children would be disturbed, in the event of his transfer, has no relevance. The learned counsel has not been able to satisfy the Court as to how, as is maintained, any inalienable right available to the petitioner has been infringed. A public functionary does not have a vested or Constitutional right to remain at a particular place or to serve in a specified capacity. The petition has no merit and is hereby dismissed in limine. A.A./N‑154/L Petition dismissed.
