This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Challenge in this petition is the order of transfer dated 01-10-2026, whereby the petitioner has been transferred from Khairagarh - Chhuikhadan - Gandai to Kabirdham.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that, as per Clause 8 of the transfer policy dated 05.06.2025, there is in-house remedy for making representation against the transfer order before the transfer committee, who will consider the grievance of the petitioner in accordance with law. Clause 8 of the said transfer policy dated 05.06.2025 is reproduced as below:- “8. स्थानांतरण से व्यथित शासकीय सेवक द्वारा अपने स्थानांतरण के विरूद्ध अभ्यावेदन केवल स्थानांतरण नीति के उल्लंघन होने पर ही उक्त उल्लंघन होने वाले कंडिका के संबंध में स्पष्ट आधारों के साथ स्थानांतरण आदेश जारी होने की तिथि से 15 दिवस के भीतर प्रश्नाधीन स्थानांतरण आदेश की प्रति सहित शासन द्वारा गठित वरिष्ठ सचिवों की समिति के संयोजक एवं सचिव, सामान्य प्रशासन विभाग को प्रस्तुत कि या जा सकेगा। समिति द्वारा ऐसे प्रकरणों का इस स्थानांतरण नीति के प्रकाश में परीक्षण करने के पश्चात अपनी अनुशंसा संबधित विभाग को प्रेषित की जाएगी।”
3. Be that as it may, since in-house remedy has been provided to the employee concerned to raise the grievances before the transfer committee against transfer order, this Court deem it appropriate to direct the petitioner to move fresh representation before the transfer committee along with copy of this order within a week from the date of receipt of copy of this order and the transfer committee, in turn, shall take a decision on the representation, so made by the petitioner, in accordance with law, in an objective manner and pass a reasoned order, on its own merits, within a further period of 15 days. Till then, transfer order dated 01-10-2026 with respect to the petitioner only shall be kept in abeyance.
4. The petitioner is directed to produce a copy of this order within a week from today to the said transfer committee.
5. The writ petition, accordingly, stands disposed of with the aforesaid observation and direction. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Aadil
