1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondents and perused the record.
2. Instructions submitted by learned Standing Counsel are taken on record.
3. This writ petition has been filed challenging the transfer order dated 31.05.2026 passed by respondent No. 3 as well as reliving order dated 03.09.2026 passed by respondent No. 5.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon the judgment of this Court in Writ A No.4494 of 2026 (Shashi Prakash Tripathi vs. State of U.P. and two others), decided on 1.4.2026 and submitted that once an order of transfer is passed, the transferred employee is to be relieved within a period of seven days. It has been further submitted that in case of Shashi Prakash Tripathi (supra), this Court relying upon the judgment passed in Special Appeal No.481 of 2024 decided on 14.5.2024, has quashed the order of transfer as well as the relieving order.
5. Learned Standing Counsel though opposed the writ petition but could not deny the legal position and has submitted that after the relieving, petitioner has joined the place of posting.
6. The case is squarely covered by judgment of this Court in Shashi Prakash Tripathi (supra) and in view thereof, the impugned transfer order dated 31.05.2026 passed by respondent No. 3 as well as reliving order Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Shishir Singh Yadav, Vipul Pandey Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.

dated 03.09.2026 passed by respondent No. 5, are hereby quashed and the writ petition is allowed accordingly.
7. However, this order will not be an impediment for the respondents to pass fresh order of transfer, if they so desire, in accordance with law. September 29, 2026 Nitika Sri.
