By the present writ petition, the petitioner, is questioning the transfer order dated 08.01.2025 (Annexure P-1) by which the petitioner has been transferred from Veterinary Hospital Dharmjaigarh District Raigarh to Artificial Insemination Centre, Upkendra Mandalpara, district Koria. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that one Radheshyam Barman (serial No. 31) has also been transferred to same place i.e. Artificial Insemination Centre, Upkendra Mandalpara, district Koria and there is only one vacant place thus it is not possible for two employees to join at same place of posting. Hence, the order of transfer is bad in law. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents/ State on instructions submits that, as far as, the transfer of employees of the State government is concerned, the State government has decided to constitute a committee to consider the grievance of the employees in case of transfer and placed a copy of the order dated 03.03.2025. He further submits 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 3 / 3 pleadings and the documents on record. 5. Hence, looking to the grievance of the petitioner as two persons are posted in same place, it is directed that the petitioner shall approach the committee constituted by order dated 03.03.2025 with a representation within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In case of filing of the representation, the said committee shall decide the representation of the petitioner in accordance with law and the policy within a period of 30 days from the date of filing of the representation. Till then, the interim order dated 17.01.2025 shall remain operative. 6. With the aforesaid observation, the writ petition is disposed off. 7. The petitioner is at liberty to apprise the committee about the order of this court. Sd/- (BIBHU DATTA GURU) JUDGE Jyoti
