The petitioner is going to retire on 31.1.2019 but, instead of considering the fact that the petitioner has completed less than one year of his posting at Chapra, he has again been transferred from Chapra to Begusarai vide impugned notification contained in Memo No. 515 dated 7.5.2018 (Annexure-4).
