Mr. Joyjit Choudhury, Mr. Nabankur Paul, Mr. Sumit Kumar, ...for the State.

This is a challenge directed against an order dated June, passed by the West Bengal Administrative Tribunal impugning a transfer order dated 27 May, 2025.

On behalf of the State respondents, it is submitted that the instant appeal is not maintainable and the appeal is liable to be dismissed on the ground of maintainability. There is no decision insofar as the merits of the case are concerned and the impugned order is simply an order of admission. The matter has been directed to appear under the heading 'Admission Hearing' and fixed on 7 August, 2025.

After a protracted hearing, the appellant seeks permission to proceed before the Tribunal.

It is further submitted on behalf of the appellant that a fixed time frame be stipulated for the Tribunal to dispose of the matter.

On behalf of the State, it is submitted that they have no objection if the matter be directed to be expeditiously disposed of by the Tribunal without granting any unnecessary adjournments with regard to the prayer for interim relief.

In view of the above, WP.ST/7/2025 stands disposed of by directing the West Bengal Administrative Tribunal in case no. OA No. 334/2025 (RUNU GHOSH vs THE STATE OF WEST BENGAL AND ORS) to hear the prayer for interim relief within two weeks from the date of communication of this order and without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

It is submitted on behalf of the appellant that they are ready and willing to join the post of transfer within a period of two days. However, no coercive action should be taken against her. On behalf of the State it is submitted that if the petitioner joins services within the next two days no action of any kind whatsoever would be taken against her. In view of such submission on behalf of the State no further order is necessary.
