The petitioner, a Forest Deputy Ranger, is aggrieved by order of transfer, dated 4.7.2011, Annexure P-3, whereby he has been ordered to be relieved of the additional charge of Richhani Block and 4th respondent, who was under transfer to Chopal Forest Division, has been posted against the resultant vacancy and the petitioner has been relieved of additional charge. Thus, he is to be at the place of his original posting as Deputy Ranger (B.O. CAT Plan), Karsog. According to the petitioner he had taken charge of Richhani Block only on 19.1.2011 and has been shifted within a short span of six months. The order has been challenged on many grounds, inter-alia, citing adverse family circumstances, namely, that his old and aged mother requires constant care and attention and his wife has also been operated upon for appendicitis last year. 2. All these grievances the petitioner may point out before the competent authority in which case the said authority will look into the same and take appropriate action in accordance with law, justice and equity. 3. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice. (Justice V.K. Sharma) July 13, 2011. Judge. (cr)
