The grievance raised in this petition is regarding rejection of Original Application by learned Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, Nagpur Bench, Nagpur, raising challenge to transfer of petitioner from Paratwada to Patur District Akola, without recording the reasons for his transfer. 3. It is the case of petitioner that Civil Service Board recommended the names of the petitioner and his wife under the Unification Policy for Morshi and Bhatkuli, District Amravati, Belkhede 2 1caw2095.2026.doc respectively. However, when the transfer orders were received, the transfer of the petitioner was shown at Paratwada whereas, transfer of his wife was shown as Bhatkuli. Though, the place of transfer of the petitioner was changed from Morshi to Paratwada, the petitioner did not raise any objection to such general transfer made by Government order dated 13.5.2026. 4. However, subsequently on 21.5.2026, before the petitioner could join at Paratwada, another order came to be passed transferring the petitioner from Paratwada, District Amravati to Patur, District Akola contrary to Unification Policy and further without assigning any reason for change of place of transfer. According to petitioner, his case is covered by the judgment of Co-ordinate Bench of this Court dated 25.9.2025, delivered at Principal Seat in Writ Petition No. 11520/2025 (Shrikant Ramdas Karkale Vs. State of Maharashtra and others). 5. It is submitted that the learned Tribunal rejected the Original Application of the petitioner on the ground that since, it is a general transfer, there is no need to record any reason. It is submitted that immediately, after rejection of Original Application on 18.8.2026, on 21.8.2026, one Ku. Nisha Prabhakar Mokashe was transferred from Amravati to Paratwada in place of petitioner. It is pointed out that post at Paratwada on which the petitioner was transferred, was kept vacant as per the order of the learned Tribunal. It is therefore, submitted that there is every possibility to make the petition infructuous since newly added respondent no. 5 may join the post at Paratwada. In that view of the matter, Mr. Saboo, learned counsel for petitioner is pressing for stay to the transfer order dated 21.8.2026, issued in the name of respondent no. 5. 6. Issue notice to the respondents, returnable on 28.8.2026. Belkhede 3 1caw2095.2026.doc 7. Ms. K.P. Marpakwar, learned AGP waives notice for respondent nos. 1 to 3/State. 8.
