IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12661 of 2010 KOUSHLENDRA KUMAR . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 02. 13.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner, who is stated to be a Class- III employee appointed on compassionate ground, questions his order of transfer from Patna to Purnea dated 15.7.2010. The first ground urged is that the transfer was from one zone to another, and it was the Chief Engineer alone who was competent to transfer. The answer to that lies in the order of transfer itself issued by the State Government superior to the Chief Engineer. The second ground urged is that the transfer was contrary to administrative circulars, which provided for transfer in the month of June only. The law stands well settled that administrative circulars do not vest any right to found a cause of action in a Court of law. They at best furnish a ground for the employee to pursue matters with the authorities as held in A.I.R. 2004 (SC) page 2165 (STATE OF U.P & OTHERS VERSUS GOBARDHAN LAL) The writ petition is completely silent as to 2 how long the petitioner has remained posted at Patna. The Court queried the counsel for the petitioner, who then replied that the petitioner has remained stationed at Patna ever since his appointment for the last ten years. There is no merit in this writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
