Chhattisgarh High Court stays transfer of Vet Officer over 'violation' of Scheduled Area posting guidelines; committee told to decide in 15 days RAIPUR: The Chhattisgarh High Court has stayed the transfer order of a deputy director of veterinary services, Balrampur-Ramanujganj, who challenged his posting to a scheduled area. The 63 year-old petitioner, through his counsel Mateen Siddiqui, contended that his transfer to Manendragarh-Chirmiri-Bharatpur district is contrary to the state government's guidelines for postings in such areas. The Single Bench of Justice Bibhu Datta Guru observed, 'It appears from the pleadings that the petitioner who has discharged maximum part of his duty in the scheduled area. Presently, he has been again transferred to a scheduled area which appears to be contrary to the guidelines dated 03.06.2015, hence the petitioner is directed to approach the committee constituted by the State Government on 03.03.2025 within a period of 5 days and in case the petitioner approached the said committee, the said committee shall consider the representation and grievance of the petitioner in accordance with law as well as the guidelines dated 03.06.2015 within a further period of 15 days. Till the decision of the Committee the impugned order dated 05.03.2025 shall remain stayed till the decision of the Committee.' The petitioner, who has served a significant part of his tenure in scheduled areas, argued that the transfer order dated 5 March 2025 violates the guidelines issued on 3 June 2015. The court directed the petitioner to approach a committee constituted by the State Government on 3 March 2025. This committee is tasked with reviewing transfer orders and addressing grievances. The court has instructed the committee to consider Dr. Ahmad's representation and grievance in accordance with the law and the 3 June 2015 guidelines, within 15 days. The High Court has stayed the transfer order until the committee reaches a decision. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Eid wishes , messages , and quotes !
