IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16023 of 2008 RANJIT PRATAP NARAYAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4. 06.01.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The issue raised in this writ application relates to an order of transfer dated 30.6.2008 under the policy decision regulating transfer and posting dated 1.3.2007. In compliance therewith the petitioner joined the transferred place of posting, when the order of transfer thereafter was sought to be annulled/cancelled. This aspect of the matter with regard to annulment/cancellation of an order of transfer, which has already taken effect has been considered by this Court in detail in CWJC No. 16215 of 2008 placing reliance on two Bench decisions of this Court reported in 2000(2) PLJR 332 (Smt. Jyotsna Kumari v. State of Bihar & ors.) and 2000(3) PLJR 139 (Mahmood Azam Siddique v. State of Bihar & ors.) holding that an order of transfer once issued, acted upon by joining in compliance therewith, cannot be cancelled or annulled. This writ application is allowed in same terms and the impugned orders dated 1.10.2008 and 17.10.2008 are, accordingly, set aside. The petitioner stands restored to the posting in accordance with the order dated 30.6.2008 not to be interfered with except in accordance with law. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
