Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that against the said transfer order the petitioner has already made representation which is still pending before the transfer committee. As per Clause 8 of the transfer policy dated 05.06.2025, there is in-house remedy for making 2 representation against the transfer order before the transfer committee who will consider the grievance of the petitioner in accordance with law. Clause 8 of the said transfer policy dated 05.06.2025 is reproduced as below: “8. स्थानांतरण से व्यथिथत शासकीय सेवक द्वारा अपने स्थानांतरण के विवरूद्ध अभ्यावेदन के वल स्थानांतरण नीतित के उल्लंघन होने पर ही उक्त उल्लंघन होने वाले कं ति$का के संबंध में स्पष्ट आधारों के साथ स्थानांतरण आदेश जारी होने की तितथिथ से 15 विदवस के भीतर प्रश्नाधीन स्थानांतरण आदेश की प्रतित सविहत शासन द्वारा गवि1त वरिरष्ठ सति4वों की सविमतित के संयोजक एवं सति4व, सामान्य प्रशासन विवभाग को प्रस्तुत विकया जा सके गा। सविमतित द्वारा ऐसे प्रकरणों का इस स्थानांतरण नीतित के प्रकाश में परीक्षण करने के पश्चात अपनी अनुशंसा संबतिधत विवभाग को प्रेवि=त की जाएगी।” 3.

Till then no coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner. 4. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of with the aforesaid observation and direction.
