Shri Somkant Verma, Advocate For Respondent/State :

Shri Chandresh Shrivastava, PL S.B.

Hon'ble Shri Justice Manindra Mohan Shrivastava Order On Board 06/03/2017 Heard.

The transfer order is under challenge on the ground that even though the petitioner worked throughout in scheduled areas and core scheduled areas for 20 years, by the impugned order, he has again been transferred to core scheduled area.

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of Policy dated 03.06.2015, the petitioner's case requires consideration regarding transfer and posting of the petitioner at core scheduled area, in the circumstances when he has continuously remained posted in that area for the last 20 years. 3.

The petitioner has directly came to this Court without preferring representation in this regard. Therefore, I am not inclined to interfere with the order impugned. However, it will be open for the petitioner to prefer representation before the competent authority for posting outside the core scheduled area as per provisions of Policy dated 03.06.2015. If such representation will be filed by the petitioner within 15 days from today, the competent authority shall take necessary

-2steps for posting the petitioner outside the core scheduled area within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. If no one has joined till date, for a period of four weeks, no coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner to compel him to join at the transferred place of posting. 4.

With the aforesaid observation/direction, the petition is disposed off. Sd/- (Manindra Mohan Shrivastava) Judge Rekha
