However, by the impugned transfer order, the petitioner has been transferred to Government Primary 3 School Charbhatha, Block Kurud, District Dhamtari (C.G.) which is situated approximately 35 kilometers away from his residence. It is submitted that, in view of his physical disability, the petitioner would face considerable hardship and di3culty in commuting to the transferred place of posting. Learned counsel, therefore, submits that the respondent authorities may be directed to consider the petitioner’s prayer for posting at a place nearer to his present place of posting. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents/State, on instructions, submits that, in respect of transfers of employees of the State Government, the State Government has constituted a Committee to consider the grievances of employees arising out of transfer orders.

Learned counsel further submits that, in the event the petitioner approaches the said Committee by Aling a representation, the Committee shall consider and decide the same in accordance with law and the applicable Transfer Policy within a period of 25 days from the date of Aling of such representation. 4 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the pleadings and documents. 5. In view of the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties, and particularly considering that the petitioner has 40% disability, it is directed that the petitioner shall approach the Committee constituted under Clause 8 of the Policy by Aling a representation within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the event such representation is Aled, the said Committee shall consider and decide the petitioner’s representation, in accordance with transfer policy, within a period of 25 days from the date of Aling of such representation.
