CIVIL SURGEON, BHOJPUR, ARRAH. ………………… .. RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 10.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the state. Petitioner has prayed for quashing the office order No. 87(4) dated 13.02.2009 passed by the Director-in-chief, Health Services, Bihar, Patna directing the Civil Surgeon, Arrah to transfer the petitioner and others. Further prayer is for quashing the office order No. 1148 dated 23.05.2009 whereby the petitioner has been transferred to Block Hospital, Arrah from Sadar Hospital, Arrah. These two orders have been challenged on the ground that these are punitive as on allegation of local M.L.A. , the transfer orders have been issued. On perusal of the impugned transfer order issued by the Civil Surgeon as well as the Director-in-chief, Health Services, it transpires that the transfer order has been issued for some administrative reasons. it is not punitive since the petitioner has been transferred from one hospital to another hospital in the same city after remaining posted at one place for 2 seven years. Counsel for the petitioner submits that he may be given liberty to represent before the appropriate forum/authority against the transfer order. He has liberty to do so. This writ application is dismissed. akv/ ( Mridula Mishra, J )
