WP(C) 3277/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B. K. SHARMA Heard Mr. P. Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. D. Saikia, learned Standing Counsel, Health. Both the writ petitions by and b etween the same parties arising out of the same issue have been heard together a nd are being off by this common order. WP(C) 3377/2011 was filed at a time when the petitioner apprehended his transfer from Nagaon when he was in the substantive rank of Professor in Assam Homoeopathy Medical College and Hospital, Nagaon. In that capacity he was also h olding the charge of Principal. The writ petition was filed on 23.6.2011. There is no interim order operating in the writ petition. According to the petitioner, during the pendency of the writ petition, t he respondents issued the impugned orders, both dated 21.6.2011 by which the pet itioner has been transferred and posted at Dr. J.K. Saikia Homoeopathic Medical College, Jorhat as Professor and the respondent No.5 has been allowed to hold th e charge of the post of Principal at Nagaon. Be it stated here that both the inc umbents were promoted to the rank of Professor by the same order issued on 1.3.2 011. While according to Mr. Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner that th e impugned orders have been issued to accommodate the respondent No.5 but Mr. D. Saikia, learned Standing Counsel, Health submits that apart from the fact that the petitioner has completed 9(nine) years of service at Nagaon and that the res pondent No.5 is senior in service, the mother of the petitioner who stays at Jor hat, made a representation seeking transfer of her son i.e. the petitioner to Jo rhat, enabling her to live with him. Considering the limited scope of interference in the matter of transfer of Govt. officials exercising writ jurisdiction unless the same is established t o be a product of malafide exercise of power and said to be issued in violation of statutory rules and considering the matter in its entirety, I dispose of both the writ petitions directing the Commissioner and Secretary to the Govt. of Ass am in the Health and Family Welfare (B) Department, to take on record the grieva nce of the petitioner, facilitating which the petitioner may make an appropriate representation before the said authority. Mr. Sarma, learned counsel for the pe titioner submits that if need be, he is ready to take his mother from Jorhat to Nagaon. However, this is entirely an internal family matter and this Court has n othing to do with the same. If the petitioner makes any representation within 7th July, 2011 to the said aut hority, the same may be disposed of considering all relevant aspects of the matt er as expeditiously as possible, preferably within 15.7.2011. Till then, status quo as on today shall be maintained.
