HIFZURRAHMAN ANSARI Digitally signed by HIFZURRAHMAN ANSARI Date: 2025.10.14 17:30:31 +0530 2 Considering this contention, this Court, vide order dated 28.09.2022, stayed the operation of the impugned transfer order insofar as it relates to the petitioner. It is submitted that the interim order has been continued from time to time, and the petitioner is still discharging his duties at the present place of posting. Therefore, it is prayed that this petition may be finally disposed of by setting aside the impugned transfer order. 3. Per contra, learned counsel for the State submits that transfer is an incidence of service, and the petitioner has been transferred on administrative grounds. It is further submitted that the petitioner cannot claim to remain posted at a particular place forever. 4. Be that as it may, since the impugned transfer order was issued in the year 2022 and almost three years have elapsed, and considering that the petitioner has continued at the present place of posting under the protection of interim order, this Court is inclined to dispose of the writ petition with an observation that the respondents shall not insist upon the petitioner to comply the impugned transfer order (Annexure P/1). However, the respondents shall be at liberty to issue a fresh order of transfer, if the administrative exigency so requires. 5. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. All pending applications, if any, shall also stand disposed of. Sd/- (Sachin Singh Rajput) Judge H.Ansari
