Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the considered opinion that such grounds cannot be sustained. The petitioner, if so desires, may approach the authorities and the same may be considered in the light of the directions/circulars issued vide Memo No. 1490 dated 21.06.2017 with regard to transfer and posting.

With the aforementioned observations, the writ application stands dismissed.
