The instant writ petition is preferred by the petitioner under Article 226 of the Constitution of Indian with the following relief(s):- “10.1 That, this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to set aside the impugned order dated 17.01.2025. 10.2 That any other relief which this Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper may also be granted in favour of the petitioner safeguarding her interest.” 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that vide order dated 20.09.2024, the petitioner has been transferred from the office of Deokar Sub Division Saja Division, District Bemetara to the office of Superintendent Engineer, City Circle, CSPDCL, Bilaspur, however, there was some typographical error in the order, which was corrected vide order dated 24.09.2024 and the petitioner was attached to the office of Superintendent Engineer, City Circle, CSPDCL, Bilaspur. Now, again the petitioner has been transferred from Bilaspur to Mahasamund. 4. When a query is being made to Mr. Mayank Chandrakar, learned counsel appearing for respondents No.2 to 4, he submits that due to earlier order passed in WPS No.8402 of 2024, the petitioner has been transferred, however, he has failed to explain why after 24.09.2024, again the impugned order has been passed in the 3 month of January, 2025, which is within four months from the date of earlier transfer order. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents appended thereto. 6. Taking into consideration the fact that vide order dated 24.09.2024, the petitioner was transferred from Saja Division to Bilaspur and, again, vide order 17.01.2025, he has been transferred from Bilaspur to Mahasamund on administrative grounds, it appears that the petitioner is a victim of frequent transfers. 7. In view of the above, instant writ petition is allowed and impugned transfer order dated 17.01.2025 is hereby quashed. The respondent authorities are at liberty to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The petitioner is allowed to perform his duties at his present place of posting.
