Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that by the impugned orders, the petitioner has been transferred and relieved from the District Trade and Industry Center, Ambikapur, District Sarguja to District Trade and Industry Center Mohala-Maanpur- Ambagarh Chowki. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted a representation regarding his grievance. He submits that the the Transfer Policy itself provides that the employee under the probation shall not be transferred. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is still in probation period and therefore, he prays for quashment of the impugned orders. 3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that there is no illegality in the orders impugned. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the pleadings. 5. From perusal of the Transfer Policy, 2025, it is quite vivid that under the Special Note heading in Clause 6.1, it has been provided that the employee who are under probation shall not be transferred. Further, it has been informed that the said provisions 3 under the Special Note is still prevailing in the State of Chhattisgarh. As such, the orders impugned dated 03.09.2026 (Annexure P-8) and 07.09.2026 (Annexure P-9), in the considered opinion of this Court, are absolutely not correct and are in violation of the said policy. 6. Accordingly, the orders impugned dated 03.09.2026 (Annexure P- 8) and 07.09.2026 (Annexure P-9) are quashed. The Writ Petition is allowed. SD/- (BIBHU DATTA GURU) JUDGE Amardeep
