For respondent No. 5. : Mr. Rakesh Thakur, Advocate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral): Vide order dated 24th June, 2010, this Court has directed the 4th respondent, Block Medical Officer to explain why he permitted the private respondent to join duty without duly relieving the petitioner. He has filed an affidavit, submitting that he was not aware of the instructions issued by the Government. He has tendered apology. The affidavit is accepted. The respondents No. 1 to 4 will strictly enforce the instructions dated 14.07.2010 and in case of any violation, the steps shall be taken to recover the loss, thus caused, from the erring official. Communicate a copy of this order to respondents No. 1 to 4. 2 2. Petitioner is aggrieved by Annexure P-1, order of transfer. It is submitted that the petitioner has only seven months to retire from service. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the private respondent submits that 5th respondent is a widow and only on that account, special consideration was given to her and she was posted at Nalagarh. But, it is to be seen that the private respondent has been posted at I.G.M.C., Shimla pursuant to her promotion only. Be that as it may. Since the petitioner has only seven months to retire from service, it will be solely appropriate that she is permitted to continue at Nalagarh till she retires from service. But, after retirement of the petitioner, the private respondent shall be accommodated at Nalagarh. 3. The petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy dasti, on usual terms. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice Rajiv Sharma), Judge. 30th July, 2010 (bhupender/awasthi)
