IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13382 of 2009 SUNIL KUMAR PANDEY, Son of Sri Surendra Pandey, resident of Village- Balia, P.S. Maharajganj, District-Siwan ---- Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 14-10-2009 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. On 3.2.2009 after the petitioner was transferred to Patna from Baniyapur Block at Saran, he joined on 6.3.2009. Days later on 24.3.2009 he has been transferred from Patna to Bisfi in the district of Madhubani. He has joined on 2.4.2009 and has represented against the same. The submission is that there is no justification whatsoever for transferring him from Patna at short duration. The circulars of the State Government permit transfers before three years, but not prior to two years at a place of posting. If the Government has issued circulars regulating transfer and postings though no legal right may be founded the same to maintain the writ application nonetheless such circulars bind the State Government and the need to comply the same by it does not stand obliterated. The Respondents cannot comply /ignore administrative circulars regulating transfer and postings at their whims and desires except for valid cogent and convincing reasons spelt out in an order. The petitioner has already represented. His representation is directed to be disposed off by the Respondent no.2 by reasoned and speaking order within one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this - 2 - order. The application stands disposed. NKS/- ( Navin Sinha, J)
