forwarded to the Headquarters CWE (Army), Jaisalmer vide letter dated 10.09.2026 (Annex.A/5), however, without considering his representation, he has been relieved on 18.09.2026 (Annex.A/1) from Jodhpur. It is further case of the applicant that as per the guidelines for the Industrial persons issued by the Headquarters CE, Western Command-2022, vide letter dated 20.12.2022 (Annex.A/2), compassionate ground posting may be considered for a period of maximum three years. He submitted that on account of sickness of his wife and medical facility available at Jodhpur, his request to extend the compassionate posting period from two years to three years on humanatarian grounds, may be considered sympathetically. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and material available on record, this Tribunal is not inclined to interfere with the impugned repatriation order dated 18.09.2026 (Annex.A/1). The applicant after completion of two years of posting on compassionate ground, was liable to be repatriated in terms of original transfer order. The applicant has failed to indicate violation of any rules, therefore, the present O.A. deserves to be dismissed at admission stage. While dismissing the O.A., it is made clear that this Tribunal has not precluded the respondents to consider the request for extension of repatriation posting on compassionate ground for further one year. O.A. stands disposed of. RAMESHWAR VYAS MEMBER (J) Jitendra Mehta ( pps )
