@JUDGMENTTAG-ORDER
Mr. Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J. - Heard Mr. Niranjan Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. A.R. Choudhary, learned counsel
for the Union of India.
2. The petitioner in this application has challenged the order dated 11.07.2015 passed by the respondent no. 4 whereby and where under the
petitioner has been transferred from 209, Cobra Battalion, CRPF, Khunti, Ranchi to GC, CRPF, Siliguri, W.B.
3. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that in terms of the standing order of the Directorate General, CRPF dated
31.01.2014, any tenure in Cobra Battalion is for a minimum period of 3 years extendable for 5 years. It is submitted that without any rhyme and
reason before expiry of the statutory period of 3 years, the petitioner has been transferred. He further submitted that the petitioner has given
representation, but the same has also not been considered.
4. Learned counsel for the respondents has submitted that on account of administrative exigency, a person can be transferred and considering the
same the order was passed transferring the petitioner from 209, Cobra Battalion, CRPF, Khunti, Ranchi to GC, CRPF, Siliguri, W.B.
5. The Standing Order which has been referred to by the learned counsel for the petitioner suggest that the Director General may issue any order
of transfer overriding the transfer policy due to operational or medical or administrative or any other exigency. In view of Clause 13 of the Standing
Order, the argument of the learned counsel for the petitioner that he was to remain stationed at 209, Cobra Battalion, CRPF, Khunti, Ranchi for at
least a period of 3 years gets negated.
Moreover, as has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he has already joined his transferred post and considering the entire
aspects of the matter, this writ application sans merit is accordingly, dismissed.
