IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14287 of 2009 1. AMLENDU KUMAR SINGH S/O SRI MANOJ KUMAR SINGH, VILL+P.O- BANAHARA, P.S-HAVALI KHARAGPUR, DISTT- MUNGER, AT PRESENT POSTED AS EXECUTIVE MAGISTRATE, BHAGALPUR Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF THE GOVERNMENT, PERSONAL AND ADMINISTRTIVE, REFORMS DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF THE GOVERNMENT, RURAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr Rajendra Prasad Singh,Sr. Advocate For the State : Mr Santosh Kumar Siungh, SC 22 with Mr Mithilesh Kumar, AC to SC 22 ------ 2. 11.11.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner, an employee of the Personnel Department, was posted at Bhagalpur and he joined there as such on 17.4.2008. He is aggrieved by the fresh order dated 19.10.2009 transferring him to Bochaha at Muzaffarpur. The submission is that even if his services were transferred to Rural Development Department, the respondents were obliged to keep in mind their own circular that transfer prior to two years was not to be done in routine manner. They should have first considered him for appropriate posting in the Rural Development Department at Bhagalpur itself and only in the event of non possibility should they have posted him elsewhere. The submission is that such frequent transfer disrupts the efficiency and morale of the employee as after transfer an employee establishes his hearth and home at a place including school admission of children etc sanguine that he shall have continuity and certainty at least for certain period of time in accordance with government circular. Learned Counsel for the State submits that it appears that the petitioner was posted in the Rural Development Department in exigency of service as per administrative needs at Muzaffarpur. This Court finds it difficult to pass any positive order at this stage. If the Government has framed circulars with regard to transfer and posting they are equally required to consider any grievance of an employee under the circular and dispose of the same by a reasoned and speaking order. If the petitioner represents forthwith against his transfer and relates the representation to the government circulars, this Court expects the authorities to consider the same in accordance with their own guidelines and dispose of the same by a reasoned and speaking order preferably within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
