"Case No. O.A. 1871 of 2006
Subir Bose -Vs.- The State of West Bengal & Others
05/05/2008 For the applicant: Mr. Masud Karim, Ld. Advocate.
For the respondents : Mr. S.Mustafi, Ld. Advocate.
Parties are present through their learned Advocates.
One fresh Vakalatnama is being filed on behalf of the petitioner.
Let it be kept with the record. Rejoinder is also being filed today. Let
those also be kept with the record. Copy served.
As suggested by the parties, the matter is being taken up (or
consideration by us. Heard the parties at length. Perused also the
materials available on record.
By this application, petitioner before us has challenged the
reasoned order, and has prayed for quashing and/or setting aside of
the impugned reasoned order dated 27-03-2006, passed by the
concerned authority in terms of the direction of this Tribunal.
From the materials available on record, it appears to us that
petitioner, challenging his order 6t transfer, whereby he was
transferred to I.T.I., Alipurduar from I.T.I. Howrah Homes, approached
this Tribunal through one O.A. application (being O.A. No. 606 of
2005), whereupon this Tribunal in disposing of the aforesaid
application by its order dated 08-07-2005, directed the concerned
authority, specially, respondent No. 2 of the aforesaid application to
treat the application of the petitioner together with all its annexures
as a representation and to dispose it of within a specified time, and
to communicate the same thereafter.
Consequent upon that, one reasoned order has been passed by
the concerned authority, wherein it was reflected that no injustice or
discrimination was done against the present petitioner in issuing the
aforesaid transfer order dated 09-06-2004.
Being aggrieved by and dissatisfied with the aforesaid reasoned
order, the petitioner again approached this Tribunal through this
application.
Now, coming to the merit of the application itself, and upon scrutiny
of the materials available on record, it appears to us that after issuance
of the transfer order way back in 09-06-2004, the petitioner did not
join the transferred post, and after submission of his representation
to reconsider his transfer order, the concerned respondent authority
made a request him to carry out the transfer order, and to join the
post of L.D.C. at I.T.I. Alipurdhar forthwith, and after that, prayer for
transfer of the petitioner shall be considered by them in due time.
Even after such request was made, nothing was done by the
present petitioner, and consequently, no other favourable order was
passed in favour of the petitioner transferring him elsewhere, nor any
other order was made by them by modifying the transfer order, issued
against the present petitioner, transferring him to I.T.I., Alipurduar.
It is quite settled position of law that when reasoned order is being
challenged before a Court or Tribunal, certainly in appropriate cases,
Court or Tribunal could interfere. But, this cannot be claimed as a
matter of right by anyone, and to have such relief, one has to place
before a Court or Tribunal adequate materials for persuading the
Court or Tribunal to interfere with such reasoned order showing
materials that "there has been illegality/infirmities in passing the
reasoned order.
But in the case at hand, nothing of the kind has been shown before
this Tribunal so as to hold that there has been any illegality/infirmities
in passing the aforesaid reasoned order. So, that being the position,
normally we find no reason, whatsoever, to interfere with the reasoned
order passed by the concerned department.
But, in disposing of the present matter, taking cue from
submissions made on behalf of the State Respondents that the
concerned authority had taken a decision that they may consider the
case of the present petitioner to transfer him to some other place in
due time, provided the petitioner at the first instance is willing to carry
out the order of transfer or in other words, he joins the present post
to Alipurduar, we pass this direction for disposing of this application.
The present petitioner is directed to join the transferred post at L.T.I.,
Alipurduar within a period of 06 (six) weeks hence. He shall submit
a representation to the concerned authority stating ail his grievances
within next 04(four) weeks. And in the event of filing such representa-
tion by the petitioner, as indicated above, the concerned authority
shall take into consideration the aforesaid representation, and dispose
it of in accordance with law, as soon as possible, preferably within a
period of next 04(four) months, and if possible, they shall pass any
other appropriate transfer order in favour of the present petitioner
within the aforesaid period.
Petitioner is also directed to file formal application after his joining
to the transferred post at Alipurduar for regularising his service, and
in the event of filing such application by the petitioner, the concerned
authority shall take steps to regularise the service of the present
petitioner in accordance with law, as soon as possible.
With this, we dispose of this application. Plain copy.
