The petitioners through instant petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India are seeking setting aside of transfer orders dated 03.06.2025 (Annexures P-9 & P-10). 3. On 01.07.2025, this Court passed the following order: - “Inter alia contends that as per transfer policy dated 15.06.2022 issued by respondent in exercise of power conferred by Section 179 of Companies Act, 2013 and Article 67 of Articles of Association, the respondent has to consider vacancy position as on 31st March of calendar year. The respondent while passing impugned order of transfer has considered 30.11.2024 as cut off/qualifying date whereas it should be 31.03.2024. The tentative list was issued in January’ 2025 and final list has been issued on 03.06.2025. The petitioners are holding post of LDC. They are having minor school going children. They have got their children admitted at their present place of posting. They have already deposited school fee. As their monthly salary is Rs.45,000/-, they cannot get their kids admitted at transferred place of posting. They cannot even bear cost of two kitchens, thus, impugned order of transfer needs to be quashed. Mr. Sanjeev Kaushik, Addl. A.G., Haryana who on advance notice is present in Court, filed written statement on behalf of respondents in CWP-17256-2025. Mr. Sunil K.

On being confronted with the fact that impugned transfer order has been passed on 03.06.2025 and by said date the petitioners must have got their children admitted in the schools, thus, transfer order is going to MOHIT KUMAR 2025.07.04 15:43 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this order/judgement. ` CWP-17256-2025 & CWP-17319-2025 -3- adversely affect them financially as well as mentally, Mr. Sanjiv Kaushik, learned State counsel submits that petitioners may be directed to file representation jotting down their grievances which shall be considered by the competent authority sympathetically and constructively. 5.
