The petitioner who is Panchayat Sewak is aggrieved by certain orders for his transfer/deputation issued by the Block Development Officer. The contention is that it is the District Magistrate who is competent to do so alone. The petitioner has filed a representation before the Block Development Officer. This Court finds from the representation that the petitioner himself states that the order could not have been issued without approval by the District Magistrate. This Court does not consider it necessary to interfere with the impugned order as on the own showing of the petitioner. This Court is satisfied that the District Magistrate upon re- examination of the issues can also grant post facto approval. The writ application is disposed off. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
