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. The present writ petition has been filed assailing the transfer order dated 29.06.2026, by which, the petitioner who is holding the post of Senior Medical Officer at Sub-District Hospital, Kotdwar, Pauri has been transferred in the same capacity to District Hospital, Dehradun.
2. The sole contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is a senior employee, therefore, she sought exemption from transfer under Section 7(d) of the Transfer Act, 2017.
3. Learned State Counsel submits that since the transfer is from non-accessible area to accessible area and not to any remote area, therefore,
UKHC010126732026
2026:UHC:6246-DB Section 7(d) would not be attracted.
4. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for withdrawal of the writ petition so that the petitioner may represent to the Department.
5. In view of the said submission, the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to represent to the authorities.
6. Pending application, if any, also stand(s) disposed of.
