IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.18051 of 2009 1. CHHOTE LAL PRASAD S/O LATE PHUL LAL PRASAD R/O VILL- DUDHAR, P.O. SISRIT, P.S. NOKHA, DISTT. ROHTAS Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY 2. CHIEF SECRETARY OF STATE OF BIHAR 3. PRINCIPAL SECRETARY DEPTT. OF SOCIAL WELFARE 4. DIRECTOR DIRECTORATE OF I.C.D.S., BIHAR 5. DISTRICT MAGISTRATE ROHTAS 6. DEPUTY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONER ROHTAS 7. DISTRICT PROGRAMME OFFICER ROHTAS 8. CHILD DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFFICER MASHARAKH (SARAN) ----------- 2. 12.3.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Though more than one ground has been urged in the writ petition to challenge the order of transfer dated 18.6.2009 from the office of the District Programme Officer, Rohtas to the office of the C.D.P.O., Masharakh (Saran), learned counsel for the petitioner confines his submission only to the ground that Government circulars provide that to the extent possible, husband and the wife may be posted together at one station if they are in Government service. His wife is posted at Rohtas in the Government school and therefore he has represented on that ground on 21.10.2009. He relies upon a Government notification for transfer dated 30.6.2009 bearing number 1434 which allows transfer in similar circumstances of the 2 person at serial no. 158. Learned counsel for the State submits that there is no vested right in a government servant as claimed and that the circular itself provides for such consideration to the extent possible. Each case shall therefore depend on its own facts. If the Government has framed any circulars to govern transfer and posting under specified condition and a Government employee claims to be covered thereunder and has represented for the purpose, naturally his representation is required to be considered and disposed off in accordance with law, by a reasoned and speaking order, within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order unless already disposed. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
