JUDGEMENT
Amitava Lala, J. -
(1.) This special appeal has been filed by the Appellant challenging the order of the learned Single Judge dated 06th October, 2010 by saying that no personal hearing has been afforded to the Appellant by the appropriate authority before transferring him from Uttar Pradesh Cadre to the Uttaranchal Cadre. We find from the order impugned that the Court has considered the order passed by learned Single Judge in Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 4624 of 2009 (Sanjay Kumar Singh and Anr. v/s. State of Uttar Pradesh and Ors. Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 4624 of 2009) alongwith connected matters as well as the writ petition No. 13652 of 2009 (Mahendra Singh v/s. State of U.P. writ petition No. 13652 of 2009). Virtually the Court came to the conclusion on the basis of the judgment delivered in Writ Petition No. 52014 of 2009 (Pradeep Kumar Singh v/s. Union of India and Ors. Writ Petition No. 52014 of 2009). According to the learned Single Judge, the earlier writ petitions were dismissed by the Division Bench of this Court. However, Court has taken the ultimate view as follows:
6. Having heard Sri Vijay Gautam, learned Counsel for the petitioner as well as Sri Piyush Shukla, learned Standing Counsel for the State, I find that after considering the matter involving validity of cadre allocation orders of Government of India in detail, this Court (Hon'ble Sunil Ambwani,J.) passed a detailed order on 30.5.2009 and dismissed all the writ petitions led by Sanjay Kumar Singh and Ors. (supra). The Special Leave to appeal filed against Sanjay Kumar Singh's judgment, was admitted by a Division Bench of this Court on 08.9.2009, but the interim order was refused. Where against special appeal was filed wherein order of status -quo was passed. But later on against the said judgment dated 30.7.2009 another Special appeal came up for consideration before a Division Bench and was decided finally on 9.10.2009, which order confirm the judgment of Single judge passed in the case of Sanjay Kumar Singh (supra). The Special appeal was dismissed on 9.10.2009.
7. Following these two judgments, this Court (myself) decided another Writ Petition No. 52014 of 2009 Pradeep Kumar Singh (supra) on 28.10.2009, wherein some other arguments were also considered and negated. All the grounds taken in this writ petition are covered by the aforesaid decision in Sanjay Kumar Singh (supra), Mahendra Kumar Singh (supra) and Pradeep Kumar Singh (supra). Learned Counsel for the Petitioner could not make any submission to persuade this Court to take a different view.
In view of the above, writ petition lack merit, is dismissed. No order as to costs.

Yadav, learned Senior Counsel, appearing in support of the Appellant, contended before us that there is a genuine hardship on the part of the Appellant and as per the circular of the State of Uttar Pradesh dated 15.07.2002 personal hearing has to be given in respect of genuine hardship.
