1. State Of Chhattisgarh Through Secretary, Health And Family Welfare Department, Mahanadi Bhawan, Mantralaya, Naya Raipur, (Chhattisgarh)

2. Director Health Services, Sanchanalaya, Indrawati Bhawan, Naya Raipur, (Chhattisgarh)

4. Jail Superintendent, Central Jail, Ambikapur, District Sarguja, (Chhattisgarh) ---- Respondents Shri CJK Rao, counsel for the petitioner/s.

Shri Chandresh Shrivastava, Panel Lawyer for the State on advance copy. Hon'ble Shri Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava Order On Board 23/09/2016 The petitioner has challenged order dated 25/07/2016 on the apprehension that by impugned order, the petitioner is being transferred to hospital at Balrampur by treating him as contract employee whereas the petitioner is a regular Government Servant and had undertaken P.G. course as in-service candidate. 2.

Learned State counsel, referring to recitals of impugned order, submits that petitioner's apprehension is not well founded. It is submitted that earlier order dated 25/05/2016 has been amended only to clarify that the petitioner has not been posted as contract employee.

3.

Obviously, the petitioner being a regular employee in the health services of the Government, cannot be treated as a contract employee while transferring him from one place to other place. Accordingly, it is directed that order dated 25/07/2016 shall not be used against the petitioner to hold him as a contract employee in any

manner. His status as regular Government Servant shall remain unaffected by the impugned order.

4.

With the aforesaid observations, the petition is finally disposed off. Sd/- (Manindra Mohan Shrivastava) Judge Deepti
