Learned counsel for petitioner has placed reliance on paragraph 5(iii) of Government Order dated 06.05.2025 to submit that wife of petitioner is suffering from permanent disability of 40% and therefore his representation for posting was required to be considered in terms of aforesaid paragraph of the Government Order. It is submitted that impugned order has been passed primarily on ground that petitioner was earlier posted in District Deoria, which is also his home District, for the past twenty years whereafter he was posted in District Balia since year 2021. It is therefore submitted that even if petitioner cannot be accommodated in District Deoria, his options for posting in Districts Kushi Nagar or Gorakhpur may be considered. 4.

Sudhir Kumar Srivastava .....Petitioner(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin Secy. Medical Health And Family Welfare Deptt. Lko. And Another .....Respondent(s) and is not binding upon opposite parties. It is submitted that petitioner's representation for posting in District Deoria has been rejected primarily on ground that he had been posted there continuously for the past twenty years with the said District also being his home district.

It has not been denied by opposite parties that petitioner's wife is suffering from more than 40% permanent disability and therefore petitioner would be covered by paragraph-5 of Government Order dated 06.05.2025. 6. However, in view of submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties, without interfering with the order impugned, liberty is granted to petitioner to file a fresh representation before authority concerned for his posting in Districts Kushi Nagar or Gorakhpur particularly in view of paragraph 5 of the Government Order.
