In the meanwhile and until the next date of hearing, operation and effect of the impugned transfer order dated 24.08.2007 (Annex.1) and the relieving order dated 14.12.2007(Annex.2) shall remain stayed. :: 2 :: It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that in pursuant to the interim order dated 19.12.2007 the petitioner is still continuing at her original place. It is also stated that the petitioner is going to retire from service on 13.6.2008. Looking to the fact that the petitioner is at the verge of retirement, instead of entering into merits of the case I consider it appropriate to quash the order impugned dated 24.8.2007 and the order of relieving dated 14.12.2007. The petition for writ is disposed of accordingly. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal
