WP(C) 2087/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Heard Mr. M. Khataniar, Mr. U.K. Nair and Mr. A. Dutta, learned counsel for the petitioners involved in these writ petitions as well as Ms. R. C hakraborty, learned Additional Sr. Govt. Advocate, Assam. The petitioners are all aggrieved by orders issued on 2.4.2011 b y which they were transferred from their places of posting to the respective pla ces of present posting. According to the petitioners, although the transfer orde rs were issued on 2.4.2011 on account of the election that was held on 4.4.2011, but before the impugned orders of transfer could be implemented, they preformed their duties pertaining to the election held on 4.4.2011. Now it is their case that since he election was over with the announcement of results, the impugned o rders pertaining to their transfer are required to be reviewed appropriately. It is the further case of the petitioners that pursuant to the impugned orders of transfer dated 2.4.2011 they have not handed over charges and the officers who h ave been posted in their places have also not joined. On the other hand, Ms. R. Chakraborty, learned State Counsel by producing the copy of the order dated 3.5.2011 issued by the Government of Assam in the Forest Department submits that by the said order, direction was issued t o take over charges unilaterally in view of the fact that charges had not been h anded over by the transferees. Thus, she submits that in view of the said order, it cannot be said that the petitioners did not hand over charges inasmuch as ir respective of such handing over of charges or not by the officers including the petitioners, the other incumbents who have been transferred to their places are to assume charges unilaterally. Having regard to the facts and circumstances stated above, I dis pose of all the writ petitions directing the Secretary to the Government of Assa m in the Forest Department, who had issued the impugned orders to pass appropria te order in accordance with law taking into account relevant circumstances inclu ding the changed circumstances. Let the entire exercise be carried out as expeditiously as possi ble preferably within 31.5.2011. With the above direction, all the writ petitions are disposed of .
