GA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Single Bench: Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal (Order on Board) 12.01.2026 1. Heard. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that at the time of obtaining the option for PG Course, the petitioner has opt to serve after obtaining PG degree at certain particular earmarked places in the Government Hospitals/Departments, however, deviating from SAIFAN KHAN Digitally signed by SAIFAN KHAN 2 the said option so given by the petitioner with regard to place of posting after obtaining PG degree, he is being posted to some other place, of where he has not given option/choice that too when the places where the petitioner has given option are still vacant. Therefore, the impugned order is bad, illegal, arbitrary and without authority of law and, as such, liable to be set aside. 3. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State supported the impugned order and prays for dismissal of this petition. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, considered their rival submissions made herein above and went through the record with utmost circumspection. 5. In the present case, a careful perusal of the record would show that since this Court passed interim order dated 23.10.2019, which is still operating after lapse of more than 06 years, therefore, the impugned order dated 04.10.2019 (Annexure-P/01), so far it relates to the present petitioner, is hereby quashed. The respondents are at liberty to pass fresh transfer order against the petitioner, if there exists any administrative exigency. 4. With aforesaid observation, the writ petition stands finally disposed of. No cost. Sd/- (Sanjay K. Agrawal) Judge s@if
