IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14160 of 2009 NARENDRA KUMAR SINGH & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 7.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The challenge to the order of transfer in this writ application is on two grounds (i) the transfer could not have been ordered without the approval of the District Magistrate (ii) transfer outside the division is not permitted under Government circulars. The petitioners are stated to have filed a representation for the purpose. Reliance is placed on an order of this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 12501 of 2009 to submit that the writ petition be disposed off in similar terms with direction to the authorities to consider the representation in like manner. Learned counsel for the State submits that the order of this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 12501 of 2009 does not deal with the issues of grant of post facto approval by the District Magistrate in accordance with law. He has next submitted that it is not the case of the petitioner that by transfer from one division to another either their seniority or salary is going to be affected. The writ application is disposed with the observation that while disposing of the representation of the 2 petitioners, the authority shall not only keep the order of this Court referred to above in mind but also the objection presently raised with regard to post facto approval, seniority and salary and decide the same by a reasoned and speaking order expeditiously. The writ application stands disposed off. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
