It is further submitted that the present petitioner is undergoing medical treatment and his transfer to Ukhrul would jeopardize the same. Being aggrieved, the petitioner has also made a Representation dated 19. 02. 2020 addressed to the Joint Secretary (Health and Family Welfare), Government of Manipur requesting for reviewing/ recalling the Order dated 31. 01. 2020.
