WP(C) 5361/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE JUSTICE MR B.K. SHARMA Heard Mr. P. Talukdar, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. D. Saik ia, learned Addl. Advocate General, Assam, representing the Department of Health . The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 21.9.2011 (Annexure-5) by which he has been transferred and posted at Raniganj PHC, Dhubri. The present p osting of the petitioner is at Nagaon. Referring to the Annexure-1 order dated 2 9.11.2010, it is the case of the petitioner that since he was posted in the pres ent place of posting only about 11 months back, he could not have been transferr ed from the said place to the present place of posting i.e. Dhubri before comple tion of tenure posting of 3 (three) years. However, Mr. D. Saikia, learned AAG d isputing the same, submits that the said order dated 29.11.2010 was on account o f promotion of the petitioner and prior to that also he was posted at the same p lace and thus he has already completed the normal tenure of posting. He further submits that transfer being an incident of service, in absence of allegation of malafide exercise of power and violation of statutory rules, the petitioner cann ot claim that the impugned order is vitiated. Considering the aforesaid submissions and having regard to the limited s cope of interference in the matter of transfer by the Writ Court and as agreed t o by the learned counsel for the parties, this writ petition is disposed of prov iding that the petitioner may make a representation against the impugned order o f transfer within one week from today to the appropriate authority. In the event of making such representation, the said authority may dispose of the same, as e xpeditiously as possible, preferably within one week thereafter. Till then, status quo as on today shall be maintained. With the above directions and observations, the writ petition stands dis posed off, without however, any order as to costs.
