Hon'ble The Chief Justice Hon'ble Shri Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra Order On Board 27/11/2015

1. The present Review Application arises from order dated 31.3.2010 allowing Writ Petition No.4505/2005 granting pay protection pursuant to transfer in terms of para-604 of the Indian Railway Establishment Manual Vol.I (1989 Edn).

2. The only ground urged in support of the Review Application was with reference to para-11 of the earlier order to submit that circular dated 20.8.1999 provided that in cases of request transfer resulting in a lower

post pay protection would be available provided the employee before transfer had worked for a minimum of 24 months regularly on the higher post.

3. According to us, this is a pure question of fact. No such statement or assertion was made by the Petitioner in its counter affidavit before the Division Bench.

4. We therefore find no reason to entertain the Review Application.

5. The Application is dismissed.
