Thereafter, the impugned order was passed as late as on 27.01.2016. The operative portion of the said order is reproduced as under :

(3.) Respondent No. 3 Kamal Mishra is represented by his counsel before this Court. Learned counsel for the respondent Caveator while opposing the present petition submitted that in fact, a dispute had been raised by him before the Conciliation Officer in May, 2013 and it was on that account that the transfer order was passed against him.
