The State Of Bihar through the Chief Secretary, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Principal Secretary, Planning and Development Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna, Old Secretariat, Patna 3. The Additional Secretary to the Government, Planning and Development Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna, Old Secretariat, Patna 4. Kanhaiya Ram, Son of not known to the petitioner, Assistant Planning Officer, Kishanganj, District Kishanganj……Respondents ----------- 2 10.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Petitioner has filed this writ application challenging his order of transfer and posting as District Planning Officer, Purnea. From the records it appears that petitioner was subsequently designated as Assistant Planning Officer while he was functioning at Arwal. Obviously thereafter petitioner has been promoted and posted in Purnea as District Planning Officer, vide notification dated 30.06.2010. But he was not relieved on the request of the District 2 Magistrate, Arwal and the District Election Officer due to ensuing Assembly Elections. After the election has been over, petitioner is being sought to be relieved. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since some other persons, upon their promotion to the post of District Planning Officer, have been posted at that very station as the post was vacant, petitioner should have also been posted as District Planning Officer at Arwal itself. This is a matter within the domain of the respondents and no writ can be issued for the same. However, petitioner may represent before respondent no.2, Principal Secretary, Planning and Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna, who may consider the representation of the petitioner expeditiously. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observation. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
