THE REGIONAL DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION TIRHUT DIVISION , MUZAFFARPUR ----------- For the Petitioners: Mr. Mithilesh Mowar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sunil Kumar Mandal, SC 15 Dr. A. Shakoor,AC to SC 15. ------- 2. 16.11.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Counsel for the State. The earlier order of transfer of the petitioners was cancelled by an order dated 24.7.2009.The order of cancellation has then been recalled seeking to revive the original order of transfer dated 29.6.2009. Relying on two Bench decisions of this Court in 2000(2) PLJR 332 and 2000(3) PLJR 139, learned Counsel submits that once the order of transfer dated 29.6.2009 was set aside with immediate effect on 24.7.2009, thereafter there remained no order for revival. The only recourse lay in passing orders for transfer afresh. A dead order cannot be revived. The order dated 14.9.2009 is therefore not sustainable. It is accordingly set aside but without prejudice to the rights of the respondents to proceed afresh in accordance with law in the manner discussed. The writ application stands allowed.
