Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC-LKO:17488 Court No. - 18 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 3320 of 2025 Petitioner :- Abrar Khan Respondent :- State Of U.P. Thru. Addl. Chief Secy. Irrigation And Water Resources, Lko. And 3 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Shiv Pal Singh,Ambrish Kumar Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Standing counsel for respondent Nos. 1 to 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in sub-para-5(v) of the annual transfer policy issued by the State Government for the year 2024-25 dated 11.06.2024, it is provided that employees who are going to be retired within two years shall be considered for posting at a district of their choice, except their home district. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the petitioner has been transferred from District Bahraich to District Lucknow. It is prayed that since the petitioner's children are studying in District Bahraich, he may be permitted to serve in District Bahraich until reaching the age of superannuation i.e. 31.03.2026, which is approximately one year from now. On the other hand, learned Standing Counsel submits that there is a difficulty in permitting the petitioner to serve in District Bahraich, as another incumbent has already joined at the place of the petitioner. Therefore, reinstating the petitioner to his previous post is not feasible. However, he submits that if the petitioner files a representation, the same shall be considered in accordance with the transfer policy. In view of the above, with the consent of both parties, the petition is disposed of, granting liberty to the petitioner to submit a fresh representation to respondent No. 2 within one week from today. If such a representation is submitted, it shall be decided in accordance with the transfer policy dated 11.06.2024 (Annexure No. 2) by passing a reasoned and speaking order and endeavor shall also be made to accommodate the petitioner at a location of his choice, except District Bahraich.
