Till 14.03.2008, his posting is at BDL, Kanchanbagh, Hyderabad. Vide orders, dated 14.03.2008, the 1st respondent transferred the petitioner to north eastern sector along with several other personnel. The petitioner states that he has already served in the north eastern region for about three years and that his minor daughter is undergoing treatment at Hyderabad, for a serious disease. He claims to have made a representation to the 1st respondent, narrating his grievance and complains that he is being compelled to move to the new station, even while the representation is pending. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It is for the respondents to take the various facts and circumstances into account, while effecting transfers of various personnel. This Court cannot stipulate any guidelines or other parameters, in this regard. The question as to whether there are any merits in the representation made by the petitioner and if so, the nature of relief that deserves to be granted to him, has to be considered by the respondents. This much, however, can be said that if the petitioner is compelled to leave the present station, even while the representation is pending, substantial hardship would be caused to him. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner, within a period of one (1) week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, the petitioner shall not be compelled to join the new station. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 27.03.2008 JSU .....
