Given the limited grievance that the petitioner has raised challenging the order of transfer, this Court is of the opinion that subject to verification of the facts whether the petitioner has made a request for transfer, the impugned order so far as the petitioner is concerned, shall not be given effect to. However, in case on verification if it is found that the petitioner has infact made a request, then the impugned order would not stand interfered and the respondents would be at liberty to relieve the petitioner from the present place of posting. Meanwhile, till the verification is done,

the effect and operation of the impugned order, so far as the petitioner is concerned, shall not be given effect to.
