The petitioner has challenged the order of transfer on the ground that he is about to retire on 31.11.2010. This Court had directed the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner vide order dated 24.02.2010 passed in CWJC No. 3026 of 2010. The petitioner has been transferred from Chapra to Gopalganj and prays that he should be permitted to remain at Gopalganj for the rest of the period of his service. At the time when the transfer was made, the petitioner had more than a year of service and as such the policy of the State Government to consider posting of the Government servant as per his choice or in his home district was not taken into 2 account. There is no illegality in the impugned order. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
