Order on Board

15/05/2026

1. By the present writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for

following reliefs:-

“A) This Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to

Issue an appropriate writ /order/direction

quashing the impugned Transfer Order dated

14.01.2026 issued under SCT-2026 transferring

the petitioner from 241 Battalion CRPF,

Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh to 232 (Mahila)

Battalion CRPF, Salboni, West Midnapore,

West Bengal;

B) Issue an appropriate writ/order/direction

quashing the rejection order dated 19.02.2026

whereby the representation submitted by the

petitioner has been rejected;

C) Direct the respondents to allow the petitioner

to continue at 241 Battalion CRPF, Jagdalpur in

accordance with the policy applicable to

Bastariya personnel and the extension granted

upto SCT-2027;

D) Grant interim protection by staying the effect

and operation of the impugned transfer order

dated 14.01.2026 during pendency of the

present petition; and

E) Pass any other relief that this Hon'ble Court

may deem fit and proper in the interest of

justice.”

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner

3

was appointed as a Constable (Hairdresser) in a special

recruitment drive and was posted at 241 Battalion CRPF

(Bastariya Battalion), Jagdalpur, District Bastar, Chhattisgarh. It

is submitted that the tenure of the said Battalion was upto SCT-

2027 (Summer Chain Transfer 2027), as reflected in Annexure

P-2. However, the petitioner has been transferred to 232

(Mahila) Battalion CRPF, Salboni, West Midnapore, West

Bengal, on the ground of the transfer of the petitioner’s

husband, who is also serving in the CRPF. Learned counsel

further submits that the petitioner never applied for a coupled

transfer, however, vide impugned order dated 14.01.2026, she

has been transferred, which is against the principles of

violation of the policy applicable to the CRPF.

3. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the petitioner

has completed the tenure of five years, as the deployment in

the Bastariya Battalion was only for a period of five years, and

therefore, upon completion of the said tenure, the petitioner

has been transferred.

4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused the

pleadings and documents.

5. From a perusal of Annexure P-2, it appears that the period of

deployment of the Bastariya Battalion has been extended till

2027. However, though the petitioner had submitted a

representation before the competent authority, the same has

been rejected by a non-speaking order. Hence, the petitioner is

4

permitted to approach respondent No. 3 by filing a fresh

representation within a period of ten days from today. Upon

such representation being filed, the respondent N
