------ For the Petitioner(s) : Md. Afaque Ahmed, Advocate Md. Altaf Hussain, Advocate For the Resp.-State : Mr. Aditya Raman, AC to G.A.-III
…......
02/ 29.01.2026: Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
2. Petitioner prays for setting aside the order dated 13.11.2025 at Annexure-2 of the writ petition by which after revoking the suspension of the petitioner, the petitioner was posted at Middle School, Basdiha, Boarijore Circle, District Godda.
3. Admittedly, petitioner is a Teacher, he was posted at Government Middle School, Malmandro, Anchal Thakurgangti. The petitioner got implicated in a criminal case and he was taken in custody. He was put under suspension. The petitioner was granted bail by the Hon’ble High Court of Jharkhand. Since, he was released on bail from custody, his suspension was revoked and his place of posting was shifted to Middle School, Basdiha, Boarijore Circle, District Godda. There is no illegality in the posting of the petitioner of the revocation of suspension at different place from where he was
working, in view of the pendency of the criminal case against the petitioner and when a departmental proceeding was initiated.
4. Thus, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. If the petitioner wants to change his place of posting for any other reason, it will be open to him to file a representation.
5. With the aforesaid observation, the instant writ petition stands
disposed of.
