Respondents ---------------------------------- 3. 24/08/2011 Petitioner has filed this writ application challenging her transfer from Primary Health Centre, Bagaha-1 to Primary Health Centre, Maina Tand. From Annexure-1, it appears that pursuant to general transfer, petitioner was also transferred in the manner aforesaid. Her grievance is that her husband is an X-Ray Technician in the Sub-Divisional Hospital, Bagaha-1. Hence, as per the Government rules, she should have been allowed to continue at Bagaha or in the alternative her husband should also be transferred with her. It is submitted that Maina Tand is 110 kilometer away from Bagaha-1 Block. Hence, it is not possible for the petitioner to maintain her 2 residence at Bagaha-1 and travel to Maina Tand every day. Policy decision of the Government provides for posting of husband and wife at one place. Hence, case of the petitioner is required to be considered under that policy decision for posting of petitioner and her husband both at one place. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file a representation before the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, West Champaran at Bettiah within two weeks from today. If she does so, the Civil Surgeon shall consider her representation in the light of the said policy decision of the Government and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law positively within two weeks thereafter.
