s IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10212 of 2008 DHANPAL RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 23.07.2008 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that he confines the relief in the present writ application only to the issue of transfer and seeks leave to assail the order on the other two punishment in a freshly constituted writ application. The short submission is that the order of transfer is not in routine course of administration but as a measure of punishment. Learned Counsel for the State prays for time to file counter affidavit. This Court is however not persuaded to adjourn the matter on that score. The impugned order dated 26/4/2008 is therefore quashed only to the extent that it orders transfer of the petitioner as a measure of punishment with regard to item no. 3 alone. This shall however not prejudice the respondents in exercise of their administrative powers to proceed afresh in accordance with law. The writ application stands allowed to the extent indicated.
