Mr. Mahesh Thanvi, for the petitioner. <><><> Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner's contention is that petitioner was transferred from Pokran to Jaisalmer and at that time that was petitioner's fourth transfer in very short duration of about 11 months only. The petitioner challenged the said transfer order by preferring SBCWP No.4510/2005, which was decided by this Court on 1.8.2005 wherein the petitioner was permitted to submit his representation to the competent authority and the competent authority was directed to consider petitioner's representation and pass a fresh order and till then the petitioner was allowed to continue at Pokaran. The petitioner's submission is that petitioner's forth transfer was under challenge in SBCWP No.4510/2005 and this Court took note of this fact and directed the respondents to consider the petitioner's case of frequent transfers and pass appropriate order. Now in 9 months' period, the petitioner has again been transferred from Jaisalmer to Baytu by order dated 31st July, 2007 and thereafter, 2 by another order passed on he same day i.e., on 31st July, 2007 itself the petitioner has been transferred from Baytu to Gundamalni. Therefore, in one day, the petitioner has been transferred from Jaisalmer to Baytu and from Baytu to Gudamalani. The petitioner now submits that he may be allowed to continue at Jaisalmer because his family is at present is settled at Jaisalmer as petitioner was posted by the respondents themselves at Jaisalmer on a short time ago and the petitioner's transfer in one day from Jaisalmer to Baytu and from Baytu to Gudamalani may be stayed till the petitioner's representation is decided by the competent authority. In view of the above, the writ petition of the petitioner is disposed of. The petitioner may submit his representation to the competent authority for consideration of his case and the competent authority shall pass appropriate and brief order, but strictly in accordance with law and in the interest of exigency. The petitioner may submit his representation within a period of 10 days from today. The competent authority shall decide the representation of the petitioner within a period of 30 days thereafter and till then only, the petitioner may be allowed to continue at Jaisalmer if no other person has joined there.
