IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.348 of 2009 DEO NANDAN PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 19.01.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The short question raised on behalf of the petitioner is that he was transferred by an order dated 30.6.2008. After the order of transfer was complied with and he joined the transferred place of posting, there remained no order of transfer in existence for annulment or modification. Contrary to the same, the order of transfer has been cancelled by order dated 17.12.2008. Two Bench decisions of this Court in 2000(2) PLJR 332 (Smt. Jyotsna Kumari v. State of Bihar & ors.) and 2000(3) PLJR 139 (Mahmood Azam Siddique v. State of Bihar & ors.) has held that the order of transfer once issued and acted upon becomes a spent force and redundant. Nothing survives for annulment and cancellation. All that can be done now is to issue fresh orders of posting. In view of the law already laid down by this Court, the impugned order dated 17.12.2008 is set aside. The application is allowed. This shall be without prejudice to the rights of the State to deal with the petitioner with regard to transfer and posting in accordance with law. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
