1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R Hanuman Ram Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 706/2005 DATE OF ORDER : 16.5.2007 PRESENT HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE H.R.PANWAR Mr. R.C.Joshi, for the petitioner. Mr. B.L.Tiwari, Dy.G.A. BY THE COURT: By the instant writ petition under Article 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has challenged the order Annexure-3 dt. 27.12.2004 transferring him from National Highway Sub-Division-2, Nagaur to Rajasthan Health System Development Project, Jaipur and order Annex.4 dated 3.1.2005 directing the petitioner to hand over the charge of the post to Junior Engineer, National Highway Sub-Divisional, Nagaur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. The effect and operation of the orders Annexure-3 and 4 transferring the petitioner from National Highway Sub-Division-2, Nagaur to Rajasthan Health System Development Project, Jaipur 2 and directing him to hand over the charge of the post, has been stayed by this Court vide order dt. 4.2.2005 and by virtue of the interim stay order, the petitioner has been continuing at Nagaur for about two and half years. In my view, no useful purpose will be served in allowing the order impugned to stand qua the petitioner after such a long time because by now the post to which the petitioner was said to have been transferred must have been managed by the respondents by some alternate. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is allowed. The orders impugned Annex.3 dated 27.12.2004 and Annex.4 dated 3.1.2005 are set aside. However, it will be open for the respondents to pass a fresh order, if service exigency so requires. Stay petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as costs. [H.R.PANWAR],J. rp.
