accepts notice and opposes the petition by contending that the petitioner‟s wife is also working in the BSF and continuous to be posted at New Delhi and can therefore easily take care of the petitioner‟s domestic problems, based on which he is seeking deferment of posting. 5.

Having considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record including the recommendations made by the IG, Air Wing, FHQ, New Delhi for the petitioner‟s retention in Delhi for one year, we are of the view that it will be in the interest of justice to grant the petitioner three months time to join at his new place of posting i.e. the North Bengal Frontier.

6.

The writ petition is accordingly disposed of by granting the petitioner time till 10.10.2024 to join at his new place of posting in terms of the impugned signal. It is, however, made clear that this order is being passed in the peculiar circumstances of this case and upon noting the undertaking given by the petitioner through his counsel that he will report at his new place of posting in North Bengal Frontier on or before 10.10.2024. 7.

We further make it clear that in case, the petitioner does not abide by his undertaking noted hereinabove, it will be open for the respondents to take appropriate action against him as per law. REKHA PALLI, J.
