1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 590/2007. (DR. KARTAR SINGH VS. STATE & OTHERS) DATE OF ORDER : 11.09.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Mukesh Vyas for the petitioner. Mr. Deepak Chaudhary } Mr. J.S. Bhaleria } for the respondents. By an order dated 02.01.2007, the petitioner was transferred as Dy. Director (Animal Husbandary), Bikaner to Dungarpur. By the same order, respondent No.2 Dr. Ranjeet Singh was transferred from Dungarpur to Bikaner as Dy. Director, Department of Animal Husbandary. A challenge to the order aforesaid was given by the petitioner by way of filing an appeal before the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal and that came to be rejected on 15.01.2007. Being aggrieved by the same, this petition for writ is preferred. This Court on 02.02.2007, while issuing notices to show cause to the respondents, as an interim measure, stayed operation and effect of the order of transfer dated 02.01.2007 and also the order dated 15.01.2007 passed by the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal. Suffice to mention here that an appeal giving challenge to the order dated 02.02.2007 passed by 2 this Court was also filed by Dr. Ranjeet Singh and that came to be rejected on 22.05.2007. The petitioner, in view of the interim order passed by this Court on 02.02.2007, is still continuing as Dy. Director (Animal Husbandary) at Bikaner. However, respondent Dr. Ranjeet Singh by a subsequent order is transferred and posted as Dy. Director at Sri Ganganagar and vacancy of the Dy. Director (Animal Husbandary) at Dungarpur has also been filled in by making posting of Dr. Hemant Kumar Sharma under an order dated 28.06.2008. In view of the factual position stated above, the issue regarding transfer made under the order dated 02.01.2007 does not survive. Accordingly, this petition for writ is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.1 for not giving effect to the order dated 02.01.2007. However, a liberty shall be available to the respondent No.1 to transfer the petitioner, by an independent fresh order, if administrative exigency so warrants,. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
