WP(C) 1017/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE I.A.ANSARI Heard Md. M.H. Rajabarbhuiyan, learned counsel, for the petitioner, and Mr. M.R. Pathak, learned Standing Counsel, Education Department. While working in the office of the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Karimganj, an FI R was lodged and following registration of a case, on the basis of the said FIR, the petitioner was placed under suspension, by order, dated 27.05.2008, issued by the respondent No.2, namely, Director, Elementary Education, Assam. Upon his reinstatement, but pending disciplinary proceeding, the petitioner was brought t o the office of the Director of Elementary Education, Assam, Kahilipara. On a re presentation, made by the petitioner, the petitioner was, by order, dated 27th M ay,2009, transferred to the office of the District Elementary Education Officer, Hailakandi. When the petitioner was sought to be transferred from Hailakandi, h e filed a writ petition, under Article 226, which gave rise to WP(C) No.2644/200 9, wherein, on the prayer of the petitioner, a direction was given, on 03.07.200 9, to maintain staus quo as regards the service of the petitioner. With the resu lt, the petitioner remained with the office of District Elementary Education Off icer, Hailakandi. Subsequent thereto, the petitioner applied for his transfer to the office of the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Karimganj, on personal grounds. The petitioner’s request has not been acceded to by the respondents/authorities concerned. Though the petitioner has been reinstated, as indicated above, the fact remains that there is a departmental proceeding initiated against the petitioner, which is not yet completed and the allegations, which had led to the suspension of the petitioner and also the enquiry, relates to the period, when the petitioner had been working in the office of the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Karimganj. Dissa tisfied with the refusal by the State respondents to transfer the petitioner to the office of the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Karimganj, the petitioner has fil ed the present writ petition. Considering the fact that the petitioner’s suspension relates to an event, which took place at the time when the petitioner was serving in the office of the Dep uty Inspector of Schools, Karimganj, and when the State Government, as employer, has decided to conduct enquiry keeping the petitioner away from the office of t he Deputy Inspector of Schools, Karimganj, this Court does not find any justific ation in interfering with the decision of the State Government not to transfer b ack the petitioner from the office of District Elementary Education Officer, Hai lakandi, to the office of the Deputy Inspector of Schools, Karimganj. Furthermor e, the direction, which had been passed, in WP(C) No.2644/2009, is still in forc e and any challenge, in the present posting of the petitioner would lead to a ch ange in the status quo, which would be impermissible in law, so long as the time the order of status quo, passed, in WP(C) No.2644/2009, remains operative. Because of what have been discussed and pointed out above, this Court does not f ind that the petitioner has been able to make out any case warranting interferen ce with the order of transfer of the petitioner. While, therefore, the present w rit petition is not admitted, the respondents are hereby directed to expedite th e enquiry and dispose of the same, preferably, within a period of six months pro vided that the petitioner co-operates with the authorities concerned and appear in the enquiry as and when required. No costs.
