Heard Ms Sanchi Y. Jaiswal, Adv. holding for Dr. Anjan De, Adv. for the petitioner and Mr.N.W.Almelkar, Adv. for respondent no.1. This petition is directed against the order of transfer dt. 13.8.2002 issued by respondent no.1 whereby the petitioner came to be transferred from Gram Panchayat, Khadsangi to Gram Panchayat, Samda (B. K.). The petitioner is working as Village Development Officer. The Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the order of transfer was issued mid-term and therefore, the same is bad in law. It is also brought to the notice of this Court that, vide order dated 24th September, 2010 passed by this Court, the 253wp4517.10.odt 2 . parties were directed to maintain status-quo. Counsel for respondent no.1 has submitted that the order of transfer is based on administrative exigencies and therefore, it is sustainable in law. Be that as it may, prima facie, it appears that the order is issued mid-term by respondent no.1 and the academic year is coming to an end. In that view of the matter, we direct respondent no.1 not to give effect to the transfer order before 31st May, 2011. With these directions and order, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE jais
