30.6.2025 petitioner, who is working as Rural Health Coordinator (Female) and posted at Sub-Health Centre, Fulpad, Block Antagarh, District North Bastar Kanker, is transferred to Sub-Health Centre Karmoti, Block Bhanupratappur. After passing of transfer order, when relieving order of petitioner is not issued for some time, she submitted representation dated 4.6.2025 (Annexure P-2) before respondent No.3 requesting him to relieve her from present place of posting to join at transferred place, but till date no decision is taken on petitioner's representation. He submits that in light of decision in case of Ms. Manisha Agrawal vs. State of Chhattisgarh & ors, reported in (2015) 4 CGLJ 182, respondents are bound to relieve petitioner immediately, particularly when transfer order of petitioner is not varied by Competent Authority either by amending or modifying it. He contended that based on decision in Ms. Manisha Agrawal's case (supra), various orders are passed by Co-ordinate Benches in identical cases where despite issuance of transfer order employees are not relieved to join at transferred place. In such a situation, he submits that at this stage grievance of petitioner would get redressed if a direction is issued to respondent No.3 to consider and decide petitioner's representation / application dated 4.6.2025 (Annexure P-4) at the earliest.
