Order Sheet
22/01/2025 Mr. Mateen Siddiqui, Counsel for the petitioner.
Ms. Neelima Singh, P.L. for the State.
Heard on admission as well as on I.A. No.01, application for
grant of interim relief.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that again and
again, the petitioner has been transferred to scheduled area
though he has served in the scheduled area for about three years.
He submits that vide transfer order dated 28.09.2016, he was
posted at Bijapur, thereafter, vide order dated 20.08.2019, he was
transferred to Raipur and again, vide order dated 15.01.2025, he
has been transferred to Govt. Co-Ed Polytechnic College, Sukma
on administrative basis. As such, according to the policy of the
2/3
State Government also, the transfer order dated 15.01.2025 is not
in accordance with law. It is further submitted that no one has
been transferred in place of the petitioner and the petitioner was
allowed to pursue his [Link] course with due permission of the
respondent department, as such, it would be difficult for him to
leave Raipur while leaving his education also.
On the other hand, learned State counsel submits that after
three years, the petitioner has been transferred to an non-
scheduled area and now there is no impediment that he cannot be
transferred to a scheduled area. He submits that since the
petitioner has been relieved also, as such, no case is made out for
stay also.
Upon this, when the petitioner was enquired, he submits that
the relieving order has not been served to him and ex-parte
relieving order has been passed on 20.01.2025.
Since, Ms. Neelima Singh, P.L. appears on behalf of all the
respondents, therefore, issuance of notice is not required. She is
directed to file appropriate reply within a period of four weeks.
Considering the aforesaid aspect of the matter, purely as an
interim measure, it is directed that the effect and operation of the
3/3
impugned transfer order dated 15.01.2025 with respect to the
petitioner and if any ex-parte relieving order is passed against the
petitioner, that shall also remain stayed till the next date of
hearing.
