and before that the impugned order has been passed transferring the petitioner to Kondagaon-2.

The other ground of petitioner is that the brother of the petitioner was the Superintendent of Police at District Kondagaon and was actively involved in the Anti-Naxal Operation and therefore if the petitioner at this juncture is transferred at that place, there would always be a threat to the life of the petitioner and her entire family.
