The petitioner further submits that there are certain recommendations made by the higher authorities in the department for change of place of posting of the petitioner and retaining him at the same place. Further contention of the petitioner is that his wife also is a Government servant and is working as Assistant Teacher(L.B.) in the Government High School, Bhaisma District Korba.

3.
