WP(C) 423/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA Heard Mr. S.N. Sarma, learned Sr. counsel for the petitioner as well as Ms. R. Chokraborty, learned Addl. Sr. Govt. Advocate. The petitioner is aggrieved by Annexure-9 order dated 17.01.2011 by whic h in partial modification of the earlier order dated 13.12.2010, the petitioner has been posted as Divisional Officer (Planning), Haflong under Dima Hasao Auton omous Council. Prior to the said order, the petitioner was transferred and poste d as Divisional Soil Conservation Officer, Dhemaji-Jonai SC Division, Silapathar in place of one Smt. Taposi Kalita. According to the petitioner, he has carried out the said transfer order and wanted to take over the charge from said Smt. K alita. But when the charge was not handed over to him, he made the representatio n dated 07.01.2011 to the Govt. of Assam in the Department of Soil Conservation requesting for necessary advice in the matter. However, immediately thereafter h e made another representation dated 11.01.2011 making a request for posting him at Kohora Soil Conservation Division, Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC). T he ground assigned in the said representation is that he was suffering from some ailments and as per the advice of Doctor he was to avoid dusty roads. Ms. R. Chokraborty, learned Addl. Sr. Govt. Advocate was directed to obt ain instruction and also to produce the file. As per the instruction received by her, the petitioner after his transfer to Silapathar made the aforesaid request for modification of the earlier transfer order by way of transferring him to Ko hora under KAAC. Accordingly, the petitioner has been transferred and posted to the present place of posting. I have gone through the file in which the transfer order has been initia ted and passed. Although in the writ petition the petitioner has made an allegat ion that he was transferred to Dima Hasao Autonomous Council to accommodate the respondent No. 5, but on perusal of the file, I do not find anything of this sor t. Mr. S.N. Sarma, learned Sr. counsel for the petitioner, however, submits that considering the health condition of the petitioner it would be conducive for the petitioner to remain at Kohora under KAAC. It was in that context, the p etitioner had made the aforesaid representation, but the authority without consi dering the said prayer has transferred him to a far place under Dima Hasao Auton omous Council. Having regard to the limited scope of interference in such matter exerci sing the power of judicial review under Article 226 of the Constitution of India and also having regard to the facts and circumstances involved in this case, I dispose of the writ petition providing that the petitioner may make a fresh repr esentation against the impugned transfer order dated 17.01.2011 to the authority who has passed the same. In the event of submitting such a representation withi n 17.02.2011, the said authority shall dispose of the same as expeditiously as p ossible, but at any rate, not later than 25.02.2011. Till then, i.e. 25.02.2011, the status quo passed by the earlier order s hall be maintained.
