L. Narayana Swamy, CJ

1.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Advocate General for the respondents-State.

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the mother of the petitioner is suffering from knee problem and he is transferred during the ban

period, which is impermissible for the respondents. Learned counsel further submits that the transfer is also bad in the eyes of Transfer Policy. Since

he has been transferred prematurely, on this count, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for setting aside the order of transfer.

3.

Learned Additional Advocate General supports the transfer order and submits that the present petition may be dismissed.

4.

During the ban period, it is for the Government to transfer or not to transfer a person. They got the administrative powers and it is not proper for

this Court to interfere whether during the ban period, any employee is to be transferred or not. It is only a guidance for the State and does not give any

right on the parties. Secondly, the submission is that he has been transferred prematurely that may attract the provisions of the policy. Be that as it

may. We feel it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition by permitting the petitioner to make a representation to the first respondent, within one

week, in accordance with the transfer policy. In case any such representation is made, the respondents shall consider the same, in the light of the

transfer policy occupying the field, and pass appropriate orders, within two weeks. Subject to filing of representation within the time-frame mentioned

above, the interim order dated 4.8.2020, is extended till the decision of the representation. Pending application(s), if any, are closed.
