10.3 That, any other relief which the Hon'ble Court may deemed fit and proper also be granted to the petitioner, in the interest of justice.

2. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that petitioner is working on the post of Assistant Veterinary Field Officer and was posted at Outline Dispensary Veterinary Hospital, Loharsi, Block Pamgarh, District Janjgir-Champa. Vide order dated 30.06.2025, he was transferred to Veterinary Hospital, Bijapur, District Bijapur, C.G. The order of transfer was put to challenge by petitioner by way of filing writ petition bearing WPS No. 745 of 2025, which was disposed of vide order dated 18.07.2025 permitting petitioner to submit representation before the committee constituted under the transfer policy within a period of two weeks and further there was direction to not to take any coercive action against petitioner. Pursuant to the order passed by the High Court, petitioner submitted representation within time and continued at the present place of posting at Loharsi. Petitioner thereafter was relieved by the authorities ie., Dy. Director, Veterinary Health Service vide order dated 11.11.2025 without taking decision on the representation submitted by petitioner and therefore petitioner filed contempt petition bearing CONT. No. 1806 of 2025 and only thereafter representation submitted by petitioner was decided on 15.12.2025. He contended that the committee without considering the grounds raised by petitioner in appropriate manner has rejected representation, it appears to be only because the petitioner has filed contempt petition. He next contended that three children of petitioner are studying in school and two are in advance classes ie., class 10^th and class 8^th, exams are to be held ordinarily in the month of February and March and are likely to be completed in last week of Ma
