By virtue of the interim stay granted by the Madhya Pradesh Administrative Tribunal at Raipur, the petitioner is continuing at the original place of posting. 2. Be that as it may, with the passage of time this petition has become infructuous, as period of transfer is not appiicable forever. At this point of time there is no question to examine the validity of the transfer order. However, the respondents are at liberty to pass appropriate orders, keeping in view the public interest and administrative exigency, without insisting on compliance of the impugned transfer order. 3. In view of the above, this petition stands disposed of. No order as to costs. Thakur Sd/- Satish K. Agnaaotn Judge
