¶17

1. The grievance of the petitioner in this petitioner is the order of transfer dated 01.03.2019 whereby the petitioner who is an Assistant Grade II is being transferred from Balrampur to Wadrafnagar.

¶18

2. The counsel for the petitioner referring to Annexure P/3 submits that at the place where the petitioner is being transferred i.e. Wadrafnagar, no post of Assistant Grade II or Assistant Grade III lying vacant. The said post is already occupied and therefore the petitioner would find it difficult first in giving joining, secondly in discharging his duties and thirdly in getting regular salary.

¶19

3. The State counsel at this juncture submits that as per the transfer policy itself the petitioner has a right to make a representation to the authorities in the department.

¶20

¶21

4. On the submission so made by the State counsel, let the petitioner make a detailed representation to the respondent No.2 within a period of 10 days from today and the respondent No.2 in turn shall consider the contents of the representation and pass an appropriate order at the earliest preferably within a period of 30 days. Till the representation of the petitioner is decided by the respondent No.2, it is ordered that the respondents shall not act upon the impugned order dated 01.03.2019 so far as the petitioner is concerned.

¶22

5. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of.
