The Civil Surgeon cum Chief Medical Officer, Banka. ---------------------------------- 2. 27.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned A.C. to G.P. 6 for the respondents. The petitioner is aggrieved by non- consideration of her representation for a posting other than to the place to which she has been transferred by Memo No. 1928 dated 30.06.2011. The petitioner is working on the post of ANM and has been transferred to a place where according to her it is highly inconvenient and she is in great trouble. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that as per the policy of the State Government there is a provision of adjustment so that husband and wife live and work at one place when both are in Government Service. In the present case also it is submitted that the husband 2 of the petitioner is also in Government service and is posted in Baunsi block in the District of Banka. In that view of the matter she has represented for her transfer to that block where her husband is working. It appears that she has already filed a representation dated 12.07.2011, copy of which is annexed as Annexure-2 to the writ petition before the Civil Surgeon, Banka. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits and draws the attention of this Court that various orders passed in the case of similarly situated persons who have been accommodated at their choice place but in the case of the petitioner neither any order has been passed nor her request has been accepted. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court directs the respondent no. 5 to consider the case of the petitioner as per her request made under the representation dated 12.07.2011 in the light of the policy of the State Government as well as in light of the fact that other similarly situated persons have been granted such benefit. This Court would only like to observe that the State authorities may take a positive view so that the person concerned is able to 3 discharge her duties with full interest and sincerity which is also in public interest. This exercise should be completed within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order upon respondent no. 5. With the aforesaid observations and directions this petition stands disposed off. Anand Kr. (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
