SUNIL KUMAR SINGH, SON OF LATE BIRENDER KUMAR SINGH, RESIDENT OF BLOCK COLONY, RAMGARH, P.O, P.S AND DIST, RAMGARH Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The petitioner was working as Civil Surgeon, Ramgarh. He was transferred to Chakradharpur, Singhbhum West as Medical Officer. The said order of transfer was challenged in W.P.(S) No.1251 of 2015. Initially this Court stayed his transfer, so the petitioner continued to work as Civil Surgeon, Ramgarh. The writ petition filed by the petitioner was ultimately disposed of directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner. The representation of the petitioner was rejected and the petitioner was transferred to Barhi as Medical Officer. The transfer order of the petitioner as Medical Officer, Barhi was again the subject matter of the Writ Petition (S) No.2464 of 2015. This Court again, initially, stayed the transfer order. The writ application was later on heard and the same was dismissed on 22.7.2015.

(2.) Being aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner preferred a Letters Patent Appeal, being L.P.A No.403 of 2015. The Letters Patent Appeal was heard by a Division Bench of this Court and was disposed of on 14.3.2016 with following direction.

(3.) Thus, the Honourable Division Bench did not go into the merits of the case but directed the State to reconsider the transfer order of the petitioner in the light of the observation made above.
