Khaira, District-Jamui. ……………. ……………. …… .. Respondents. ----------- 2. 26.08.2009 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the state. Petitioner has prayed for quashing the order contained in letter Memo No.2825, Jamui dated 31.12.2008, whereby respondent No. 7 had been transferred to Middle School, Keshopur at Jhajha in Jamui. Petitioner is also working in the same school and, as stated in the writ application on account of being senior most in the school, he is discharging the duties of in-charge, Head master. The respondent No. 7 who has been transferred in the same school on account of impugned order, being senior to the petitioner, has now been asked to discharge the duties of in- charge, Headmaster and the petitioner has been directed to - 2 - hand over charge to respondent No. 7. This is the reason, the petitioner has now challenged the transfer order though earlier at the time of issuance of transfer order and joining of respondent No. 7 in the school, he did not challenge the order. Even otherwise, the petitioner has no locus to challenge the transfer order as on account of this transfer order, he has not been transferred to any other place and respondent No. 7 has not joined on his post. The transfer order dated 31.12.2008 has already been implemented and lost its force, there is no reason for challenging the transfer order by filing this writ application. If the petitioner has any grievance on account of the order contained in Annexure-6 filed with the supplementary affidavit, he has recourse to approach the appropriate authority by filing a representation. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. akv (Mridula Mishra, J.)
