Sri Gyan Krishna Kuliar, Son of not known to the petitioner, At Present posted as District Welfare Officer, Jehanabad :----- Respondents. ----------- 03. 30.06.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner is the District Welfare Officer. He is aggrieved by the notification of the State Government bearing No. 2242 dated 19.06.2009, Annexure-1, whereunder he has been transferred from the post of District Welfare Officer, Gaya to Jehanabad. Perusal of the order dated 19.06.2009, Annexure-1 indicates that his transfer has been effected on administrative grounds. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that indication in the order that the transfer is on administrative ground is absolutely incorrect as having joined at Gaya on 5.8.2008 there was hardly any administrative exigency for his transfer to Jehanabad rather he is being penalized by effecting the present transfer as earlier he had questioned the notification of the State Government dated 19.11.2008, Annexure-4 by filing C.W.J.C.No. 1040 of 2009 whereunder said notification was quashed and only with a view to feed fat the grudge department has issued the present transfer order. 4. Let the petitioner file representation against the notification dated 19.06.2009, Annexure-1 before the Chief Secretary of the State who should call for the file and examine the matter himself and if he is satisfied that there is no administrative exigency to effect the transfer of the petitioner from Gaya to Jehanabad then he should advise the Government for recall of the notification dated 19.06.2009, Annexure-1. Consideration of the representation of the petitioner be made by the Chief Secretary as early as possible, in any case within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the representation by him. 5. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha, J.)
