IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 10404 of 2010 1. DR. BIKAS KUMAR SINHA, S/O DR. K. RAMA, R/O MOHALLA MADARSA ROAD, AURANGABAD, P.S. AND DISTRICT- AURANGABAD. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH ITS PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, HEALTH DEPARTMENT,GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR , PATNA. 2. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH,GOVT. OF BIHAR,PATNA. 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE,AURANGABAD. 4. THE CIVIL SURGEON CUM THE CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, AURANGABAD. 5. DR. RAVI RANJAN, S/O NOT KNOWN DEPUTED ON THE POST OF MEDICAL OFFICER OF THE DISTRICT TUBERCULOSIS CENTRE,AURANGABAD. ----------- 2 06.08.2010 The petitioner is a doctor and was transferred to Aurangabad on the ground that his wife, who is also a doctor, was posted there. He was initially posted at T B Centre. Again he was posted in the Sadar Block Hospital. From there, he has now been deputed to Sadar Hospital, Aurangabad itself. Petitioner submits that once he had taken charge pursuant to transfer order, the transfer order having been acted upon, cease to operate and, as such, there was no question of cancelling and/or withdrawing the same. In other words, petitioner wants to stay at T B Centre, Aurangabad rather than join Sadar Hospital, Aurangabad where he has been deputed. In my view, from petitioner’s own pleading, it is clear that petitioner was given a privilege transfer to Aurangabad because his wife was already there. Having come there, petitioner now wants a choice posting. I regret my inability to accede to this request. Petitioner must join Sadar Hospital, Aurangabad where he has been deputed. I am not inclined to interfere in the matter. The application is dismissed. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
