Shri Sudeep Agrawal, Dy. A.G.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order On Board 17/06/2020

1. Case of the petitioner is that the petitioner was transferred from Government Higher Secondary School Godam, Block Sarangarh, District Raigarh to Government High School Rambhatha, District Raigarh by an order dated 22.08.2019, however, till date the petitioner has not been able to join the place of posting.

2. Transfer order Annexure P-1 dated 22.08.2019 is not in dispute. In case of Ms. Manisha Agrawal Vs. State of C.G. & ors. reported in 2015(4) C.G.L.J. 182 it has been held that unless and until transfer order is modified or

cancelled, transfer order cannot be kept in abeyance. In the matter of Sreedam Chandra Ghosh Vs. State of Assam & ors. reported in (1996) 10 SCC 567 the court at para 6 has held as under:- "6. It is then contended that the transfer orders are to be enforced by the Government as per the rules in vogue and the High Court cannot interfere with these orders. We are unable to appreciate this contention also. When the Government views non-compliance of the transfer order as a serious indiscipline on the part of the erring officer and when the person complains of the non-compliance to the court, the court necessarily has to give effect to the order and give directions for enforcement thereof. Under these circumstances, we do not find any merit in the petition."

3. Learned State Counsel do not dispute the fact brought to the notice of the court by the petitioner.

4. Considering the same and the law laid down by this court, grievance of the petitioner that she has not been relieved till date, it is directed that the respondent shall allow the petitioner to join her transferred place of posting as per transfer order dated 22.08.2019 subject to just exception, if any.

5. With such observation, the petition stands disposed of. Sd/- Goutam Bhaduri Judge Jyoti
