IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12620 of 2011 Kripanath Jha Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 02. 11.8.2011 There is a policy in place of the State Government in terms of Annexure-4 and 4/1 where State authorities have made provisions for considering the requests of employees for continuance or posting in the home district in the fag end of their service. Petitioner is to superannuate on 31.12.2011, who is working as Tracer in the Rural Works Department at Supaul and order of transfer has been passed in terms of Annexure 2 dated 24.6.2011. Request has been made by him before the Chief Engineer-2, Bhagalpur (Headquarter – Patna), which would be evident from perusal of Annexure-3 dated 2.7.2011. Since no decision has been taken on his request, writ was filed. If the State authorities have issued a circular thinking of a contingent of the kind then they should consider such an application unless there are compelling administrative or otherwise not to allow such request. Since the Court does not have any inputs of all these details it is best left to the authority concerned to consider the request of the petitioner and decide within a reasonable time frame. Writ is disposed of with a direction upon the Chief Engineer (respondent no.3) that taking cognizance of Annexure- 2 3, he shall take a decision within six weeks from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. Writ is disposed of with above observation. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
