IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARANCHAL AT NAINITAL Writ Petition No. 175 of 2005 (S/B) Satish Chandra Tiwari, S/o Sri A.P. Tiwari, Posted as Veterinary Officer, At Veterinary Hospital, Adarash Nagar, District Udham Singh Nagar. …… Petitioner Versus Chief Project Director, Jalagam Prabandh Nideshalaya, Uttaranchal, Dehradun. …… Respondent Mr. C.D. Bahuguna, Advocate for the petitioner. Coram: Hon’ble Cyriac Joseph, C.J. Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J. JUDGMENT CYRIAC JOSEPH, C.J. (Oral) 1. The petitioner challenges Annexure 1 order of transfer as far as it relates to him. In Annexure 1 order dated 30.06.2005 of the respondent, the name of the petitioner is shown at serial No. 7. As per Annexure 1, the petitioner is transferred from Betalghat to Champawat Prabhag. According to the petitioner, he had already been transferred from Betalghat to Adarsh Nagar in Udham Singh Nagar district as per Annexure 3 order dated 31.07.2004 and he had joined duty at Adarsh Nagar on 02.08.2004. Annexure 4 is the copy of the joining report. Even before completing one year at Adarsh Nagar, the petitioner has been transferred to Champawat. According to the petitioner, the respondent appears to be under the wrong impression that the petitioner is still at Betalghat and the respondent appears to be ignorant about Annexure 3 transfer order dated 31.07.2004. 2. From the materials placed on record, it would appear that there is some mistake in ordering the impugned transfer of the petitioner. 2 We are of the view that the respondent should be given an opportunity to reconsider the matter and to correct the mistake, if any. The petitioner has not brought the alleged mistake to the notice of the respondent. Instead, he rushed to this Court to file this writ petition. 3. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:- i. The petitioner may file a representation within a week before the respondent with regard to the impugned transfer of the petitioner as per Annexure 1 order. ii. If such a representation is received within one week, the respondent shall consider the representation and pass appropriate orders in the light of the general guidelines, if any issued by the Government and taking into account the interest of administration. iii. Till the disposal of the representation of the petitioner, the petitioner shall be allowed to continue at Adarsh Nagar, District Udham Singh Nagar. iv. If the petitioner fails to make the representation within a week, the above directions will stand recalled and the writ petition will stand dismissed. (B.C. Kandpal, J.)
