(HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE BIBHU DATTA GURU) Order on Board 14/08/2026 1. By the present petition, the petitioner is questioning the impugned order dated 20/07/2026 issued by the respondent No.2, whereby AMARDEEP CHOUBEY Digitally signed by AMARDEEP CHOUBEY Date: 2026.08.14 18:27:27 +0530 2 the petitioner, upon revocation of his suspension has been transferred and posted at District Ayurveda Hospital, Jagdalpur from his earlier place of posting i.e. Specialized Therapy Center, Community health Center, Dongargaon, District Rajnandgaon. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was initially appointed as a Pharmacist (Ayurveda) in 2013 and posted in the Bastar Division. Subsequently, he was transferred to Dongargaon, District Rajnandgaon, vide order dated 23.09.2022. During his service, the petitioner was falsely implicated in a criminal case and placed under suspension w.e.f. 10.12.2022. He was subsequently acquitted by the competent Court and after his acquittal, the petitioner sought revocation of his suspension and permission to join at Dongargaon, Rajnandgaon. However, Respondent No. 2, vide impugned order dated 20.07.2026, while revoking the suspension, arbitrarily posted him at Jagdalpur. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents/State opposes the aforesaid submissions and submits that there is no illegality or infirmity in the impugned order. Learned counsel further submits that the Coordinate Bench of this Court, in WPS No. 250/2022 (Ashwani Kumar Mire v. State of C.G. & Ors.), vide order dated 18.01.2022, has held that the Government Servant has no right to be posted at same place after revocation of his suspension and place of posting can be changed by the competent authority. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the pleadings and documents. 3 5. Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and the material available on record, it is apparent that the petitioner has no vested right to claim posting at a particular place after revocation of his suspension. The competent authority is within its jurisdiction to decide the place of posting of the petitioner in accordance with administrative requirements. It is also manifest from the order passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in WPS No. 250/2022 that a Government servant has no right to claim posting at the same place after revocation of suspension, and the competent authority is empowered to change the place of posting. Hence, there is no illegality in the order impugned dated 20/07/2026. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. SD/- (Bibhu Datta Guru) Judge Amardeep
