Challenge in this petition is the order of transfer dated 30.06.2025 whereby the petitioner has been transferred from Kota, Dist- Bilaspur to Mahasamund. 2. 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, therefore, petitioner may be permitted to pursue the remedy of representation before the concerned authority. 3. The submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner is not opposed by learned State counsel. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents annexed with the petition. 5. As per Clause 8 of the transfer policy dated 05.06.2025, there is in- house remedy for making 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 व्यथि त शासेकीय से वकी द्वार अपनां स्थानांतरण की विवरूद्ध अभ्यव दनां की वल स्थानांतरण नांवित की उल्लघनां हो!नां पर हो उक्त उल्लघनां हो!नां वल की वि#की की सेबंध में' स्पष्ट आधर+ की से स्थानांतरण आद शा जार हो!नां की वितथि से 15 दिदवसे की भीतर प्रश्नाधनां स्थानांतरण आद शा की प्रवित सेविहोत शासेनां द्वार गदि2त वरिरष्ठ सेथि5व+ की सेमिमेंवित की सेय!जाकी एव सेथि5व, सेमेंन्य प्रशासेनां विवभीग की! प्रस्त:त विकीय जा सेकी ग। सेमिमेंवित द्वार ऐसे प्रकीरण+ की इसे स्थानांतरण नांवित की प्रकीशा में' परक्षण कीरनां की पश्चात अपनां अनां:शासे सेबंमिधत विवभीग की! प्र वि@त की जाएग।” 6. Be that as it may, since in-house remedy has been provided to the employee concerned to raise the grievances before the transfer 3 committee against transfer order, this court deem it appropriate to direct the petitioner to move fresh representation before the transfer committee along with copy of this order within a week from the date of receipt of copy of this order and the transfer committee, in turn, shall take a decision on the representation so made by the petitioner in accordance with law in an objective manner and pass a reasoned order on its own merits within a further period of two weeks. Till then no coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner. 7. The petitioner is directed to produce a copy of this order within a week from today to the said transfer committee. 8. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of with the aforesaid observation and direction. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Alok
