IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8558 of 2008 VEENA KUMARI CHAUDHARY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5. 06.01.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner assails the order dated 15.4.2008 by which her orders of transfer have been annulled reverting her to the position of Lady Extension Officer also depriving her of the benefit of absorption in Government service by an earlier decision and only whereafter the order of transfer had been issued. Strong reliance is placed on a decision of this court dated 18.8.2008 in CWJC No. 7560 of 2008 and analogous cases for the purpose to submit that the petitioner is similarly situated and never questioned her absorption or subsequent transfer. The impugned order dated 15.4.2008 is stated to be in pursuance of a decision of this court in CWJC No. 6263 of 2007. Learned counsel for the State does not dispute the submission on behalf of the petitioner that her claim is squarely covered by the decision of this Court in CWJC No. 7560 of 2008. In CWJC No. 7560 of 2008 this court drew a distinction between those who may have challenged their orders of absorption and transfer in CWJC No. 6263 of 2007 and those who may not have done so, but accepted the same and were sought to be denied the benefit of such absorption in the garb of annulment 2 of the order of transfer. For the reasons discussed in the order dated 18.8.2008 in CWJC No. 7560 of 2008, this writ application has to be allowed. The order dated 15.4.2008 is, accordingly, quashed. If the petitioner makes a representation for any arrears of salary based on her status in pursuance of the order of absorption, the Respondents are required to comply the same in accordance with law and pay the legitimate dues within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of such representation.
