IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17674 of 2008 BISHNU CHAND PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 07.01.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 16.10.2008 annulling/cancelling his order of transfer dated 20.9.2008 after he has joined his place of posting at the transferred place. The aspect of annulment of an order of transfer which has already taken effect and acted upon has been considered in detail by this Court in the order dated 6.1.2009 in CWJC No. 16215 of 2008 and analogous cases. Relying 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.) it has been held that once an order of transfer is issued, acted upon by the person concerned joining the place of posting, the order becomes spent force and redundant, the question of its annulment and cancellation, therefore, does not arise. For the reasons discussed therein, this writ application is allowed. The petitioner shall be entitled to his posting in terms of the order dated 20.9.2008. This shall, however, not be construed as to limit the administrative powers of the Respondents over the petitioner for transfer and posting in accordance with law. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
