CWP No. 4076 of 2011 08.7.2011 Present: Ms. Ranjana Parmar, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. P. M. Negi, Deputy Advocate General for the respondents No. 1 and 2. Mr. J. P. Upadhya, Advocate, for respondent No. 4. According to the petitioner he is to retire within less than two years from now. He is suffering from serious ailment for the last five years. He has been transferred to a hard area only to accommodate the private respondent and other person. He also submits that he has not been relieved till date. 2. On the other hand respondents No. 1 and 2 have clarified that transfer of the petitioner is necessitated due to administrative exigencies and that since the year 1982 petitioner has always been posted in an around his home place and has not served any hard/difficult area. The reply is silent about the fact as to whether petitioner stands relieved or not. On the other hand it is contended by respondent No. 4 that he has already joined in place of the petitioner. Petitioner has placed on record document to show that he is suffering from serious ailment of Angina. He is also due to retire in the next two years. There is nothing on record to show that petitioner is otherwise not discharging his duty to the satisfaction of the employer. Be that as it may be, interest of justice would be met if petitioner is permitted to make a -2- detailed and exhaustive representation clearly bringing out the hardships entailed due to the impugned order of transfer and also the fact as to whether the petitioner is willing to continue to serve the State or not. This shall be done within a period of one week. Thereafter the Government shall take a decision on the same within a period of two weeks. The Government shall consider either adjusting him at a convenient and a suitable place or take a decision on his application for voluntary retirement. Till then the interim order dated 3.6.2011 shall continue to be in operation for the reason that there is nothing on record to show that private respondent No. 4 has actually joined at the place in question. It is clarified that if the petitioner does not make a representation within one week he shall immediately join the place of his posting at Kaza. 3. With these observations the present petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy dasti. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. July 8, 2011 (PK)
