WPSS No.1489 of 2026 Hon'ble Pankaj Purohit, J.
Ms. Sakshi Singh, learned Counsel appearing through V.C. i/b Mr. Ankur Sharma, learned Counsel for petitioner.
2. Mr. Pradeep Hairiya, learned Addl. CSC for the State.
3. Petitioner has challenged the
order dated 13.03.2026 (Annexure No.1 to the petition) whereby petitioner, an Additional Sub-Inspector, was transferred from Uttarkashi to Haridwar and in the said order itself, the date of relieving of petitioner is mentioned as 30.05.2026.
4. Vide order dated 10.06.2026, this Court asked the State Counsel to get instructions as to whether petitioner has been relieved from Uttarkashi or not. Today, the instructions have been supplied in the Court which are taken on record. It is mentioned therein that the petitioner could not be relieved due to the reason that on 30.05.2026, he was absent from his duties.
5. According to petitioner, petitioner is working in District Uttarkashi for several years and now he has been transferred by the impugned
order on
13.03.2026. Petitioner has filed the present writ petition with the averments that the wife of petitioner namely Smt. Nirmala Rana is a government servant and she is presently posted in Irrigation Department, Uttarkashi. He further submits that petitioner’s wife

gave birth to a child on 13.01.2024 through I.V.F. treatment and the child and mother both are under continuous medical supervision. In such view of the matter, petitioner should not have been transferred. Petitioner wants this Court to interfere with the transfer order on humanitarian grounds.
6. Since the transfer is an exigency of service, therefore, this Court does not propose to interfere in the transfer order, particularly when the petitioner has been serving in District Uttarkashi since long according to his own averments.
7. However, a liberty is given to the petitioner to move a representation to respondent no.4 ventilating his grievance in detail within three days from today.
8. It is observed that if such a representation is moved by petitioner to respondent no.4, the respondent no.4 shall take decision thereon within ten days thereafter. For a period of ten days or till decision is taken, whichever is later, status quo shall be maintained in respect of posting of petitioner.
9. The writ petition is disposed of in the above terms.
10. Pending application, if any, stands disposed of.
11. Let a copy of this order be supplied to learned Counsel for the parties, today itself, as per rules.
