Suneel Kumar vs Counsel for Petitioner(s)

1. Heard Sri S.K. Chaubey, learned counsel for the writ petitioner in leading, connected C1 and connected C2 writ petition and Sri Rahul Malviya, learned Standing Counsel in leading, connected C1 and 2 WRIA No. 61097 of 2015 connected C2 application.

2. A joint statement has been made by learned counsel for the parties that they do not propose to file any affidavit and the petition be decided on the basis of the documents available on record. With the consent of the parties, the petition be decided at the fresh stage.

3. The case of the writ petitioner is that he was working as Assistant Research Officer, Primary Health Centre, Nagra, District Ballia to the utmost satisfaction of his superior, however, on 31.12.2014 an order came to be passed by Director General, Medical Health transferring the writ petitioner from Ballia to Rampur. The writ petitioner being aggrieved against the said transfer order preferred Writ A No. 44511 of 2015 in which on 10.08.2015, the following orders were passed.- "The petitioner is posted as Assistant Research Officer, Primary Health Centre, Nagra, District Ballia. He has challenged his transfer order dated 31.12.2014, whereby he has been transferred on administrative ground from District Ballia to District Rampur. It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that the impugned order has been passed on

31.12.2014 but it came to the knowledge of the petitioner on 30.7.2015. The grievance of the petitioner is that his transfer order has been passed in the mid of the academic session and his children have got admitted in the educational institution in District Ballia, therefore, the transfer order shall cause hardship to the family of the petitioner. It is a trite law that transfer is a condition of service and in case there is violation of circular/Government order or transfer policy, it does not confer any vested right to the employee to challenge it under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The appropriate remedy is to approach the higher authority to ventilate his grievance. Reference may be made to the judgements of the Supreme Court in the cases of Union of India & others v. S.L. Abbas, (1993) 4 SCC 357; N.K. Singh v. Union of India and others, (1994) 6 SCC 98, and Rajendra Singh and others v. State of Uttar Pradesh & others, (2009) 15 SCC 178, which have been consistently followed by the Supreme Court and this Court. In so far as the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is concerned that the transfer order has been belatedly communicated to him and his family will suffer hardship, in my view, the ends of justice would be subserved by issuing a direction 3 WRIA No. 61097 of 2015 upon the authority concerned to consider the cause of the petitioner and pass appropriate order in accordance with law within six weeks from the date of receipt of a representation alongwith a certified copy of this order. The petitioner is at liberty to move a representation alongwith a certified copy of this order to the authority concerned within two weeks. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. No order as to costs."

4. Thereafter, the writ petitioner preferred a representation dated

13.08.2015 which came to be rejected by the Director General, Medical Health and Family Welfare, U.P., Lucknow on 03.09.2025 and a consequential order came to be passed on 16.10.2015 by him.

Thereafter on 03.09.2015 the petitioner's representation has been rejected. The reason given therein is that the order has been passed by the Government after an enquiry. No other reason has been disclosed as to what happened in the enquiry. The allegation is that the transfer was made on a complaint. Who made the complaint and what was the nature of complaint has also not been disclosed in the impugned order.

The same led to filing of the connected C1 application in which on 21.09.2015 the following orders were passed.- "The petitioner is an Assistant Research Officer, Primary Health Centre, Nagra, District Ballia. He was transferred vide order dated 31.12.2012 on the administrative ground from Ballia to Rampur. The said order was challenged by the petitioner on several grounds.

Till the next date of listing, the effect and operation of the suspension order dated 26.08.2015 passed by the respondent no.2 shall remain stayed."

7. Since the writ petitioner was being paid salary till 28.01.2018 since the writ petitioner was not being paid the salary for the period from

01.05.2015 to 19.01.2018 thus, the writ petitioner preferred the connected C2 writ petition seeking following reliefs.- "i) issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding and directing the respondents to pay the salary to the petitioner from 01.05.2015 to 19.01.2018 forthwith along with interest within stipulated period as fixed by this Hon'ble Court. ii) issue any other writ order or direction in the like nature which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. iii) award the costs of the writ petition to the petitioner."

The grievance of the petitioner is that his salary for the period from 01.05.2015 to 19.01.2018 has not been paid. 3.
