WP(C) 358/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B. K. SHARMA The petitioner is aggrieved by the Annexure-C notification dated 7.1.201 1, so far as the same relates to her transfer from Sivasagar to South Golaghat. The writ petition was entertained on 24.1.2011 and on the prayer of Ms. P. Chakr aborty, learned Standing Counsel, Social Welfare Department, it was adjourned to 3.2.2011 (today) enabling her to obtain instruction as to the reasons for trans ferring the petitioner. Today, Ms. M. Buragohain, leaned counsel appearing for M s. P. Chakraborty, has again prayed for 10(ten) days time to obtain instruction. On the other hand, Mr. J. Payeng, learned counsel for the petitioner submits th at if the respondents are not in a position to furnish any instruction, the impu gned order should be stayed as the adjournment of the case without any stay orde r may entail adverse consequence. According to the petitioner, the transfer order has been issued in viola tion of the transfer guidelines which provide for transfer on completion of 3(th ree) years tenure in a place of posting. According to the petitioner, she was tr ansferred to the present place of posting on 9.3.09 and thus, will be completing 3 years only in March, 2012. Further stand of the petitioner is that since in t he matter of selection of Anganwadi Workers and Helpers, she did not yield to th e political pressure and acted strictly in terms of the Govt. guidelines, which even resulted in withholding of result against the will of the political leaders , she has been subjected to transfer. Having regard to the limited scope and also in absence of any instructio n from the respondents, this writ petition stands disposed of with the liberty t o the petitioner to make a representation against the impugned transfer order wi thin 7(seven) days from today i.e. by 10.2.2011 to the competent authority, whic h is said to be the Commissioner and Secretary to the Govt. of Assam in the Soci al Welfare Department. In the event of making such representation within the sti pulated period, the said Commissioner and Secretary may dispose of the same taki ng into account all relevant facts and according to rules. The representation, i f preferred within the stipulated time, may be disposed of as expeditiously as p ossible, preferably within 21.2.2011. Till then, status quo as on today in resp ect of the impugned notification dated 7.1.2011, shall be maintained.
