THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF WELFARE, S.C. AND S.T., BIHAR, PATNA 5. DISTRICT WELFARE OFFICER, PATNA, BIHAR 6. SUB-DIVISIONAL WELFARE OFFICER, DANAPUR, PATNA - Respondents. 2 30.4.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was transferred vide Annexure, dated 31.12.2009 from Patna to Danapur. Annexure 2 indicates that the petitioner was relieved and he joined his place of posting at Danapur. The Deputy Director, Department of Welfare, SC and ST, Bihar has also acknowledged the fact that the petitioner has joined at Danapur. The petitioner is aggrieved by Annexure 4 which is a chain transfer which has been made for two reasons. Firstly, the transfer relates to such persons who have been working for more than three years at one place and secondly it indicates that the persons who have been posted in their home districts are being transferred by the impugned Annexure. The petitioner’s case comes within the first category i.e. he has been working for three years at Patna. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in fact the impugned order, dated 17.3.2010 at Annexure 4 indicates that the petitioner has been working at Patna and ignores the fact that the 2 petitioner had earlier been transferred out of Patna to Danapur. The Director, Department of Welfare, SC/ST, Bihar may look into this matter on a representation being filed by the petitioner within one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and dispose of the same within a month thereafter. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observation. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
