The said posting of respondent No.3 in petitioner place was the subject matter of Application No.4192/2025 and the Tribunal has passed the following order:
"The application is disposed of with a direction to respondent Nos.1 & 2 to provide appropriate posting to the applicant within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. After being provided with the appropriate posting, the applicant shall hand over charge to the 3rd respondent and facilitate the 3rd respondent to report for duty as per the Transfer

to the respondents to provide posting to the petitioner in General Transfer. We are not inclined to accept the said submission.

The Tribunal, noting that the petitioner has not provided posting, has rightly directed the authorities to provide posting to the petitioner within two weeks.
6. We do not find any reason to interfere with the said
order. Accordingly, writ petition stands rejected.
