IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10569 of 2010 1. ARVIND KUMAR, S/O SHRI DEVENDRA SHARMA, R/O VILLAGE SABDALPUR, P.S.- MAKHDAMPUR, DISTRICT-JEHANABAD AT PRESENT MEDICAL OFFICER PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE, BANAMA, ITHARI, DISTRICT- SAHARSA. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, HEALTH SERVICE, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA. 3. DIRECTOR, HEALTH SERVICE, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA. 4. THE JOINT SECRETARY, HEALTH SERVICE, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA. 5. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY, HEALTH SERVICE, NEW SECRETARIAT, PATNA. ----------- 2 08/03/2011 Petitioner had opted for his transfer from Saharsa to any district of Arwal, Gaya or Jehanabad in the circumstances indicated by him in annexure-2. Options were exercised in the background that the Doctors who were posted for more than three years in a district were asked to furnish information so that necessary transfer could be effected. Petitioner was rather hopeful for his transfer but he came to be disappointed when three other persons working in the said district beyond three years were allowed to be transferred but the case of the petitioner was given a go-bye. It is in this background that the present writ application has come to be filed - 2 - seeking a direction upon the respondents that even his case ought to be considered and appropriate orders be issued in this regard. Stand of the State is that for certain circumstances, the case of the petitioner could not be considered as large number of information had to be processed from across the State. However, a categorical stand has been taken that the petitioner’s case would be taken up for consideration when next chain of transfers are effected which has been indicated will be carried out in the month of May-June, 2011. The stand of the State on the issue being made clear, this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Principal Secretary, Health Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna (respondent no. 2) that the case of the petitioner must be considered and a decision taken during the next chain of transfers. This writ application is disposed of with the direction aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
