He served at various places outside the State and in the year 2000, he was transferred to the Unit at Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. In the year 2004, he was transferred to the Unit of N.T.P.C. at Simhadri. On completion of nearly eight years, the petitioner is now transferred to the C.I.S.F. unit at Neyveli, Tamilnadu State, vide proceedings, dated 29.05.2008. The petitioner states that his wife has undergone serious health problems, so much so, her pregnancy became futile twice. He is said to have made a representation, dated 14.06.2008, stating inter alia that his wife is under care and continuous treatment of Dr. Mrs. Govinda and that she is pregnant by five months. The petitioner requested the 1st respondent to defer the transfer till December 2008. This writ petition is filed, stating that no action has been taken on the representation and that he is sought to be relieved. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Additional Standing Counsel for the Central Government. The transfer of the personnel in the C.I.S.F. is governed by the norms, that are framed by the organization. As of now, the petitioner completed a term of about ten years in outside the home zone and eight years in home zone. It is not even alleged that the order of transfer is violative of any of the norms. The only ground urged by the petitioner is about the precarious health of his wife at the crucial time. On his part, the petitioner expresses his willingness to join the new station, at a later point of time. Having regard to the fact that the wife of the petitioner is said to be five months pregnant and under constant treatment and observation of a family Doctor at Simhadri, this Court is of the view that the petitioner deserves to be continued at the present station, till the end of October 2005. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the order of transfer, dated 29.05.2008, insofar as it relates to the petitioner, shall take effect from 31.10.2008. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 26.06.2008 JSU .....
