WP(C) 3131/2008 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY Heard Mr. S.C. Biswas, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. BJ Gho sh, learned Govt. Advocate who represents the respondents. The petitioner, who was working as the Panchayat Secretary in Fatepur Gaon Panch ayat, where he was posted about nine months back, made a representation for tran sferring him to a nearest GP of Karimganj as his mother aged 95 years old was be d ridden and the petitioner being the only son wanted to look after his mother i n her last days. The authorities have, by the impugned order dated 2.7.08, trans ferred the petitioner from the Fatepur G.P. to Chargula G.P. (Dullavcherra A.P.) and in the process shifted the petitioner to a place which is located 60 kms aw ay from Karimganj where his mother is bed ridden, whereas Fatepur G.P. is only 1 5 kms away from Karimganj. The petitioner citing purely humanitarian reasons, made a representation on 10.7 .08 addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, Karimganj Zila Parishad (Annexure- 5) seeking reconsideration of the transfer order from Fatepur G.P. as it will ta ke him further away from his aged mother. Apparently the authorities have not so far taken any decision on the representation filed. Considering the prayer made by the son to look after his ailing 95 years old mot her in her last days, it is considered appropriate to direct the authorities to consider and dispose off the representation dated 10.7.08 filed by the petitione r taking note of the special situation of the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is still working in Fatep ur G.P. and none has come to relieve him in pursuant to the transfer order dated 2.7.08. In view of above, the competent authority is directed to dispose off the represe ntation filed by the petitioner within three weeks from the date of receipt of t his order and till consideration of the said representation, it is ordered that status quo with regard to the transfer order dated 2.7.08 in so far as the petit ioner is concerned, be maintained. The petitioner will furnish a copy of this order along with a copy of his repres entation before the appropriate authority for taking action in terms of this Cou rt’s order. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
