State Bureau, Ranchi. The court of Justice Anand Sen of Jharkhand High Court has canceled the transfer order of Ranchi Market Committee Secretary Krishna Kanhaiya. The court has said in its order that the transfer order itself makes it clear that it was passed as a punishment.
The court said that when transfer is done as a punishment, it is completely illegal. Citing the case of Somesh Tiwari of the Supreme Court, the court made it clear that transfer on the basis of allegations without any investigation would be considered as mala fide.
The petitioner was not given any notice or opportunity of explanation, hence the court quashed the department's order. In this regard, applicant Krishna Kanhaiya had filed a petition in the High Court.
During the hearing, it was told that under the order of November 14, the applicant was transferred from Ranchi Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (Market Committee) to Chakulia Market Committee.
It was claimed that the transfer was made on the basis of allegations of his unsatisfactory work and negligence in duties, without any trial or penal procedure being adopted against him. Therefore, his transfer order should be cancelled.
After the hearing, the court canceled the transfer order and sent the matter back to the concerned authorities, so that a decision could be taken after giving reasonable opportunity to the applicant.
