Order on Board 11/04/2025
1. By the present writ petition, the petitioner is questioning the AMARDEEP CHOUBEY Digitally signed by AMARDEEP CHOUBEY Date: 2025.04.15 17:50:49 +0530
2 impugned order dated 01/04/2025 Annexure P-1 issued by the Controller of Legal Metrology, by which, the petitioner has been transferred from Korba to Janjgir-Champa.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the impugned
order was passed by the Controller, Legal Metrology, without following the prescribed procedure. He submits that the relevant service rules and regulations require that any transfer or change in posting of the petitioner must be carried out with the approval or consultation of the Under Secretary of the concerned department. He further submits that the impugned order is vague and unclear, as no specific current place of posting mentioned in the order, only indicated the new place of posting at Jangir-Champa.
3.
Learned counsel for the State submits that to redress the grievance of the employees who have been transferred by the State, a committee has been constituted on 03.03.2025 and if the petitioner will approach the committee, said committee shall consider the grievance of the petitioner in accordance with the policy of the State Government and grievance if any raised by the petitioner, the same shall be redressed within a stipulated period.
4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the pleadings and the documents.
5. Looking to the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner and after perusing the impugned order, the petitioner shall approach the Committee constituted by the State Government and submit a representation within a period of 10 days. If the petitioner
3 will file any such representation before the committee, the committee is directed to consider the same and pass necessary
order in accordance with the policy of the State Government by considering the grievance of the petitioner within a further period of 20 days.
6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the writ petition is
disposed of. SD/-
