WP(C) 460/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI Heard Mr. R. Ali, learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner is presently holding the post of Junior Engineer in the Water Res ources Department and is posted at Barpeta. His name has been included in the li st of Officers who have completed three years of continuous service which list h as been submitted by the Deputy Commissioner, Barpeta to the Chief Electoral Off icer, Assam for the purpose of effecting transfer prior to the impending Parliam entary elections. The petitioner has filed a representation dated 2.2.2009 to th e departmental Secretary which is enclosed as Annexure-4 to the writ petition. Though the representation of the petitioner is yet to be considered and no trans fer order, in fact, has been passed this writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to preempt the authorities from transferring the petitioner. In the facts stated above the writ petition filed by the petitioner has to be co nsidered to be premature. The writ petition, therefore, is not entertained with liberty, however, to the p etitioner to approach this Court at the appropriate time, if so required. It is further made clear that before effecting any transfer of the petitioner his repr esentation dated 2.2.2009 must receive due attention of the concerned authority. The writ petition is disposed of in the above terms.
