There may not be an occasion to interfere with the order of transfer of the petitioner to Nautan Block in the district of West Champaran from the office where he was posted since prima facie it is for an administrative reason as the responsibility or work assigned to him had not been achieved. In view of above, if the circumstances are prevalent the authority had to decide to transfer the petitioner. The Court is not inclined to interfere with the order of transfer in the circumstances noted and explained in the counter affidavit. So far as the submission of learned counsel that there is some kind of stigma attached to the transfer, the Court can only certify that merely because he has been transferred from the present place of posting to join his new assignment in a set of circumstances it 2 can not be labeled as stigma as there is no reflection in his service record of the same. It may be clarified that since there was an ad interim order passed in favour of the petitioner dated 1.8.2011 the authority will consider paying him salary for the period he has worked in the current position. Petitioner will go and join his place of posting forthwith. This writ application is dismissed with the above observation/direction. RPS ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
