Mr. Anil Dabral, learned Additional C.S.C. along with Mr. Prem Prakash Bhatt, learned Brief Holder for the State. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hon’ble Pankaj Purohit, J. Petitioner has challenged the transfer order dated 30.06.2026 (annexure-1 to the writ petition) passed by respondent no.2, Director (Training), Directorate of Training and Employment, Uttarakhand, whereby petitioner has been transferred from Government Industrial Training Institute, Sahaspur (Muslim), to Government Industrial Training Institute, Chirbatiya. 2. The main contention of the petitioner is that the options submitted by him have not been considered and he has been transferred to a place which was not included amongst the options given by him. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had furnished six options for his transfer from an accessible area to a remote area on 25.06.2025 However, instead of posting him to any of the places indicated in the said options, he has been transferred to Government Industrial Training Institute, Chirbatiya, UKHC010121992026 2026:UHC:5836 2 which is a remote area not included in the options exercised by him. 4. Per contra, learned State Counsel submits that petitioner is working at Sahaspur (Muslim) Since 2016, therefore, under the compulsory transfer from accessible areas to remote areas, petitioner has been transferred at Government Industrial Training Institute, Chirbatiya. 5. Be that as it may, since petitioner's request for posting at any of the places indicated in the options furnished by him has not been considered, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to submit a fresh representation before respondent no. 2, Director (Training), Directorate of Training and Employment, Uttarakhand, within a period of seven days from today, ventilating his grievance and requesting that he be considered for posting at any of the places indicated in the options furnished by him. If such a representation is submitted within the aforesaid period, respondent no.2 shall consider and decide the same, strictly in accordance with law, within seven days from the date of its receipt, considering the grievance raised by the petitioner, sympathetically. 6. Pending application, if any, stands disposed of accordingly.
