Report, which clearly suggests that there was complain against the petitioner and the Member of the Legislative Assembly has given a letter to the Director-in-Chief, Health Services to transfer the petitioner from Bokaro and place him in some other district. Further, the report mentions that work culture of the petitioner is against the work ethics of the Government. Further, the respondents have relied upon Annexure C, which is letter dated 30.11.2018 issued by the Under Secretary, Government of Jharkhand to the Director-in-Chief, Health Services, Namkum wherein it has been requested to transfer the petitioner, taking into consideration the allegation against the petitioner as the same stood proved. Further, the said letter requests the Director-in-Chief to transfer the petitioner to a far off place, like Pakur, Sahebganj, Godda etc. The tenor of this letter clearly suggests that the petitioner has been transferred by way of punishment. Further, the report also suggests that the petitioner was subjected to transfer because of some complains. This clearly suggests that the transfer of the petitioner is not on administrative ground, but, is punitive though from the face of the transfer order, the punitive side is not reflected. Admittedly, there was no notice to show cause for initiation of any proceeding.
