Suprita Mondal v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

15.06.2026 Ct. No.15 b.das WPA 7822 of 2026 Suprita Mondal Vs.

The State of W.B. & Ors.

Mr. Dilip Kumar Maity ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Tapas Kr. Mondal Mr. Partha Sarathi Basu ....for the Zilla Parishad. Mr. Madhu Jana Ms. Puja Sonkar ...for the State.

Affidavit of service and supplementary affidavit filed by the petitioner and the report in the form of affidavit submitted by the Zilla Parishad are taken on record. The petitioner who is a Group-D employee of the South 24 Parganas Zilla Parishad seeks inter-district transfer in terms of the notification dated 2nd March, 2012. It appears from the report submitted by the Zilla Parishad that there is no provision for inter-district transfer of a Zilla Parishad employee.

However, the application filed by the petitioner has been forwarded to the Director of Panchayat and Rural Development, Government of West Bengal, being the 3rd respondent herein for necessary steps, if so available. In view of the above, this Court is inclined to hold that since the application of the petitioner is pending before the 3rd respondent, the said respondent is directed to consider and dispose of the same within four weeks from

the date of communication of this order upon granting reasonable opportunity of hearing to all concerned including the petitioner, in accordance with law. The decision taken by the authority shall be communicated to the petitioner within a week thereof. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. Since no affidavit is invited, the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed not to have been admitted. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
