He further submits 3 / 3 that if the petitioner will approach the said committee, the committee will decide the same in accordance with the relevant transfer policy and relevant law. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents on record and the judgment of the Hon’ble supreme court which is placed by the learned counsel for the petitioner. 5. It is not in dispute that the petitioner and his wife both are government employees posted in two different places. 6.
