The petitioner is working on the post of Workman/Work Supervisor with respondent nos. 4 and 5. An order dated 26.12.2025 was issued by respondent no. 5, whereby the services of the petitioner were transferred from the Pantnagar Unit to the Hosur Unit, Tamil Nadu.

Thereafter, the next date was fixed as 05.01.2026; however, even on the said date, respondent nos. 4 and 5 remained absent. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that thereafter no further date has been fixed in the matter. 3. Learned counsel appearing for respondent nos. 2 and 3 raised a preliminary objection regarding the maintainability of the present writ petition against a private company. 4.

It is further agreed that till the disposal of the said application, the petitioner may be permitted to continue at his present place of posting. 5.
