PCCG Date of Order : 23. 12. 2020 W. P. (C) No. 703 of 2020 Page 1 O R D E R (ORAL) [1] Heard Mr. Sarat, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr. W. Darakishwor, learned Sr. PCCG for the respondents. [2] The prayers in the writ petition read as follows :-b) To pass a stay the Transfer and Movement Order dated 01/12/2020 in connection with the Transfer and posting under Vide Signal No. M-V-2/2020-44-EC-I DATED 30/11/2020 from HQ/86 Bn. To 44Bn. ; c) To quash the Impugned Order dated 24/11/2020 under Vide No. T. IX-10(WST-19)/2019-M&N-Adm. I for the transfer of the petitioner from HQ/86 Bn. To 44Bn. [3] The petitioner challenges the transfer order on the ground that the petitioner is suffering from low back pain that is based on medical certificate. Earlier, the petitioner has filed W. P. (C) No. 723 of 2019 on the same issue and the Court granted indulgence by directing the respondents to consider the representation.
In this manner, more than 6 years have lapsed and the petitioner is now in the home State beyond the standard time line as per service rules. [4] Mr. W. Darakishwor, learned Sr. PCCG states that the petitioner is not following the Standing Order -7/2015. By virtue of the interim order of the Court, the petitioner cannot seek extension of service in home State if the service rule does not provide for the same. If it is a case of physical ailment, it needs justification by the medical board. However, the petitioner’s counsel has not taken any steps. W. P. (C) No. 703 of 2020 Page 2 [5] In the situation, the only other option available to the petitioner is to make further representation for posting in any place in the North-East India as suggested by Mr. S. Sarat, learned counsel for the petitioner.
[6] This Court does not have any difficulty in permitting the petitioner to make a representation to the authority for posting to a nearer place after explaining his physical condition before the medical board. If the rule provides for continuing home stay, then the petitioner has to follow the said rule including the submission before the medial board. [7] In this situation, this Court does not find any justification to grant any interim at the present stage except giving liberty to make a representation as stated by Mr. S. Sarat, learned counsel for the petitioner for posting in any other place in the North-East India. [8] It is left to the petitioner to make a representation to the authority within 2(two) weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of this order and the same shall be considered and disposed of by the authority expeditiously. Writ petition stands disposed as above. CHIEF JUSTICE Sandeep FR/NFR Digitally signed Yumkha by Yumkham Rother m Date: 2020. 12.
