IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12067 of 2011 Surendra Kumar Yadav S/O Late Jhaman Singh Yadav, R/O Village - Hat Pokhar P.S. - Piro, District - Bhojpur, Ara presently posted in the Minor Irrigation Division, Bhagalpur ________ Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar through Its Secretary to Government, Minor Irrigation Department, New Secretariat, Building Bailey Road, Patna. 2. The Deputy Secretary to the Government, Minor Irrigation Department, New Secretariat Building, Bailey Road, Patna. _________ Respondents ----------- 03. 15.10.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State as well as having perused the counter affidavit, the initial stand taken by the petitioner that he has been shifted in quick succession is not correct. Petitioner has been posted in that place for almost 7 years now and the normal tenure for posting in a place is about 3 years. In that circumstance, the transfer of the petitioner was warranted. Next submission of the counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is going to superannuate on 30.1.2012 and as per the Government circular he may be entitled to continue at the present place of posting in the last phase previous to retirement. The utility and deployment of the petitioner can be best appreciated by the authorities concerned. The request of the petitioner has already been considered by the concerned authority and for the reasons indicated in the order dated 20th August, 2011 prayer was rejected. If that be the stand, no interference is warranted in the present case. Let the petitioner join the transferred place of 2 posting if he has already not joined. Writ is disposed of with above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
