UP Police : HC dismisses cops' transfer petition

ALLAHABAD: The Allahabad High Court on Thursday dismissed a bunch of writ petitions filed by about more than 1,000 police personnel challenging their transfer orders made by the police regional board.
The police regional board had transferred about more than one lakh policemen, who had been posted near to their home districts. These police personnel were transferred to remote districts in pursuance of a government order.
Justice VK Shukla dismissed the writ petitions filed by several police personnel, who were transferred by their respective regional board.
The writ petition was opposed by the chief standing counsel, MC Chaturvedi assisted by Piyush Shukla (standing counsel). The state government counsels argued that the power of the regional board had already been upheld by a division bench of the Allahabad High Court and therefore, there was no illegality in transferring the police personnel to the remote districts by the police regional board.
