Respondents (Cause title is taken from Case Information System) For Petitioner : Shri Sunil Kumar Soni, Advocate For State/Respondents : Shri Vivek Sharma, Additional Advocate General and Shri Pratik Tiwari, Panel Lawyer Hon’ble Shri Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad Order on Board 22/01/2025 1. Pivot of the Writ Petition is that Vide Impugned Transfer Order dated 08.01.2025, the Petitioner has been Transferred from Veterinary Hospital Korba, District Korba (C.G) to Main Village Unit Ludeg, District Jashpur Digitally signed by GOPAL SINGH Date: 2025.02.04 16:01:25 +0530 2 (C.G), i.e, Tribal Area & said Order has been Issued during the Ban Period Issued in an Patent Violation of the Tribal Policy i.e, Without any Reliever. Moreover a day before Issuance of the Impugned Transfer Order Director Veterinary Services Issued Missive Dated 07.01.2025 for Smooth Implementation of the Ongoing 21st Livestock Census Operation (25th Oct 2024 to February 2025). 2. Following reliefs have been sought in this petition: “10.1. Hold that the Impugned Order Dated 08.01.2025 (ANNEXURE- P/1), is Arbitrary, Unreasonable & is totally Devoid of Public Interest & Without any Administrative Exigency therefore is Setaside/Quashed, so far as it relates to the Petitioner, who is at Serial No.18 is Concerned. 10.2. Any other relief, which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and Proper for the Just Adjudication of the case and Protecting Constitutional Rights of the Petitioner. 10.3. Cost of the petition.” 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been transferred, however, it has not been considered by the respondents authorities that the petitioner has been engaged in 21st Livestock Census Scheme being run by the Central Government wherein the petitioner is having separate log and the password for the specific area in mobile application which is not transferable and the said work is to be concluded upto February, 2025, as such the transfer order is required to be quashed and appropriate order is required to be passed by the respondents authorities. Since the only ground which has been raised by the petitioner which is arguable in this case is that since the petitioner is engaged in the livestock census work, as such the order of his transfer, in my opinion, should be kept in abeyance till the census 3 work comes to an end. For this, when it was inquired from the State Counsel, it was replied that hardly it will take time upto 28.2.2025 and as such it is directed that the order of transfer passed against the petitioner may be kept in abeyance till 10.3.2025 and the petitioner is directed to join his transferred place by 17.3.2025. 4. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) JUDGE Gopal Singh
