IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15617 of 2008 SRI MD.SATTAR ANSARI & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 15/01/2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioners are aggrieved by the orders of their transfer dated 25.09.2008. Much stress has been laid on an administrative circular at annexure-3, that class-4 employees should not be transferred outside the District. The circular sought to be relied upon does not impose any prohibitory ban but itself visualizes transfer of class-4 employees. It contains no mandatory indictment or bar to such transfer. The law stands settled by the Supreme Court in AIR 2004 SC 2165 (State of U.P. and others v. Gobardhan Lal) that if there be any administrative circulars with regard to the transfer and postings, they at best furnish the right to file a representation, but do not furnish a legal right so as to maintain a cause of action in a writ application under Article-226 of the Constitution of India. To that extent there is no merit in this writ application. The same is accordingly dismissed. If the petitioners have filed a representation under Government Circulars, quite naturally, the 2 respondents are required to consider the same and dispose the same off expeditiously in accordance with law, preferably within a maximum period of 12 weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
