By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, petitioner has assailed the order of transfer dated 14.08.2025 on the ground that petitioner though has been though shown to be transferred on administrative ground but as a matter of fact, petitioner since served with a show cause notice dated 21.07.2025 pending final order, petitioner has been made to transfer by way of punishment. Per contra it is argued by learned Standing Counsel that if employee is working on a transferable post and is transferred in administrative exigency or even in public interest, no inference may be drawn that transfer is for any pending proceeding.

In view of the above, this petition stands disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to make a representation against the order of transfer before the respondent no. 4 within a period of two weeks from today along with the certified copy of this order and if he does so, the same shall be considered and disposed of within a further period of six weeks without being influenced by the show cause notice already issued to the petitioner in the Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Kanchan Sharma, Prashant Vyas Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.
