WP(C) 5175/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY The petitioner, who is a Grade-IV employee (Chowkidar) in Assam Medical College Hospital, Dibrugarh, by the present petition has challenged the order da ted 20.08.2010 passed by the Superintendent of Assam Medical College and Hospita l, transferring him to Rural Health Training Centre, Chabua with immediate effec t and until further order. I have heard Mr. Bhowmik, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. Gogoi, learned standing counsel appearing for the Health Department. By order dated 17.09.2010 while directing the parties to maintain status quo, this Court passed an order directing the learned standing counsel, Health Department to obtain instruction and to produce the record fixing 24.09.2010, on which date the Court taking into consideration the submission of the learned st anding counsel Health Department made on the basis of the instruction furnished, passed an order to the effect that the Superintendent of Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh shall keep constant supervision and surveillance on the performance of the petitioner and submit a report to this Court, as the grounds on which the transfer made was that he is negligent to his duties. The learned standing counsel today produced a communication dated 30.10. 2010 issued by the Professor and Head, Department of Obst. & Gynaecology, Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh to the Superintendent of the said Colleg e and Hospital, wherefrom it appears that the petitioner is regularly attending his duties. Since the petitioner is presently attending his duties regularly and the ground on which the transfer order was issued being that he was negligent earli er in performing his duties, the present writ petition is disposed of with a dir ection that the petitioner be allowed to serve as Chowkidar in Assam Medical Col lege and Hospital. This would however not preclude the Superintendent of Assam M edical College and Hospital to pass necessary order of transfer if the occasion so arises and in the interest of public service as well as administrative exigen cies. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
