(ORAL) Challenge in the present writ petition is to the order dated 07.08.2025 (Annexure P-3) whereby the petitioner has been transferred from Raipur Rani to Jagadhari, even though he is due to superannuate on 31.03.2026 i.e. within a period of less than one year. He contends that as per the transfer policy, a person who is due to superannuate and has less than one year of service remaining ought not to be ordinarily transferred. He contends that there is no complaint of any nature whatsoever with respect to the work and conduct of the petitioner and as such the transfer order could not have been passed.
