Mr. Subhash Upadhyaya, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Pande, Standing Counsel (Central Govt.) for respondent No. 1. Mr. J.P. Joshi, Chief Standing Counsel (State of Uttarakhand) for respondent Nos. 2, 3 and 4. Date of Judgment: 14.09.2010 JUDGMENT Coram: Hon’ble Barin Ghosh, C.J. Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. BARIN GHOSH, C.J. (ORAL) Petitioner has now been finally allocated to the State of Uttar Pradesh. In such view of the matter, she is not an employee of the State of Uttarakhand. Since before her final allocation to the State of Uttar Pradesh she was working at Uttarakhand. She can only go back to the State of Uttar Pradesh, to which she has been allowed, only upon being released by the State of Uttarakhand from the work assigned to her by the State of Uttarakhand. Despite lapse of almost five years, the petitioner has not been released from the work she is performing at Uttarakhand by the State of Uttarakhand and hence this writ petition. 2. Noting the contentions as above, to which there appears to be no dispute, we dispose of this writ petition by directing the State of Uttarakhand to release the petitioner as quickly as possible, but not later than one month from the date of service of a copy of this order upon respondent No. 2, i.e., the Secretary, Medical Health and Family Welfare, Government of Uttarakhand, Dehradun.
