WP(C) 6390/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HRISHIKESH ROY The petitioner serving as Assistant Engineer (PP) at Jorhat under the Assam Elec tricity Board challenges the officer order dated 1.11.2010 (Annexure-V) whereby, his earlier transfer to Langery in Karbi Anglong district was modified on the t ransferee’s representation and he has been now re-transferred by the impugned or der to the office of the Sr. Manager of Amguri Project Civil Division. Mr. N.C. Das, learned Senior counsel submits that the petitioner’s paren ts are very old and his wife too is ailing and that is why it is necessary for t he petitioner to stay at Jorhat. Accordingly a representation was furnished on 8.11.2010 to the Chairman of the ASEB for his retention at Jorhat. Mr. H.K. Sarma, learned Standing Counsel however submits that petitioner is posted at Amguri to suit his convenience by altering his transfer from the d istant Karbi Anglong district and the impugned office order dated 1.11.2010 does n’t suffer from any malafide reason justifying Courts intervention. However it is contended by Mr. Das that since the parents of the petitioner are old and suffering various ailments and his wife also requires urgent medical att ention from time to time, his continuance at Jorhat may be sympathetically consi dered by the respondent Board by accommodating him in any available vacancy at J orhat. Having regard to the submissions made, I see no scope for a judicial interventio n with the impugned office order dated 1.11.2010, as no infringement of any lega l norms are found in the said transfer order. However considering the nature of the personal difficulties expressed by the pet itioner, I leave it to the respondents to take an appropriate decision on the re presentation filed by the petitioner on 8.11.2010 (Annexure-VI). Accordingly this case is disposed of by directing the competent authority of the ASEB to consider the difficulties expressed by the petitioner in his representa tion and to take an appropriate decision on the said representation on merit. Si nce the transfer order was passed some time back, a decision on the representati on be taken expeditiously and preferably within 7 days, from the date of service of a copy of this Court’s order. The petitioner may furnish a copy of this writ petition containing a copy of the representation and a copy of this Court’s ord er to enable the respondent authorities to consider his grievances. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
