IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4283 of 2008 SMT.PUSHPA RANI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 10. 05.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner, who is a teacher in a Middle School, is aggrieved by her order of transfer dated 12.2.2008 transferring her from the Middle School, Madhawpur, Parbatta to the Middle School, Beldaur within the district of Khagaria. This Court finds substance in the short submission of the petitioner that the order was passed at the behest of the District Magistrate and not on the satisfaction of the author of the order with regard to the administrative requirement. For the short reason that the order of transfer has been passed at the behest of an authority who had no jurisdiction to pass such order or issue such direction, this writ application has to be allowed. The order of transfer dated 12.2.2008 is set aside. The writ application stands allowed. This shall not prejudice the competent authority from passing fresh order of transfer in accordance with law.
