2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, in the earlier round of litigation in WPS No. 11613/2025, the petitioner had challenged the transfer order dated 13.05.2025, whereby the petitioner was transferred from Women's Industrial Training Institute, District Durg to Industrial Training Institute, Bhairamgarh, District Bijapur under administrative exigency, on the ground that the petitioner's mother-in-law, aged about 77 years, is suffering from a mental disorder and is undergoing treatment, and the petitioner's father-in-law, who is residing with the petitioner, is taking care of her at the present place of posting. The said writ petition was disposed of with a direction to the present petitioner to submit a fresh representation before the Committee constituted under the Transfer Policy, 2025 (henceforth referred to as "the Committee"), and the Committee was directed to decide the representation of the petitioner expeditiously within a period of three weeks. Till then, the transfer order was directed to be remain inoperative.
3. Learned counsel further submits that the Committee considered the case of the petitioner and passed an order/recommendation dated 12.11.2025. However, the Committee, without considering the grievance of the petitioner regarding medical condition of her mother-in-law, declined to interfere with the transfer order merely on the ground that the transfer order had been issued on account of administrative exigency and, therefore, no interference was warranted. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the petitioner has already been relieved from the present place of posting.
4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submits that the Committee, after considering the representation of the petitioner, found that the transfer had been made in accordance with the Transfer Policy and that the transfer order was issued purely on administrative grounds; therefore, no illegality was found therein. Learned counsel for the State further submits that the order of the Committee was passed in the month of November, 2025, and the petitioner was relieved in the month of February, 2026, whereas the present writ petition has been filed on 03.05.2026; therefore, there is considerable delay on the part of the petitioner in approaching this Court.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the pleadings as well as the material available on record.
6. Upon perusal of the order passed by the Committee, it appears that the Committee constituted for deciding the representation merely observed that the impugned transfer order had been issued on account of administrative exigency. The Committee, however, failed to consider the specific grievance and difficulties of the petitioner, who had categorically stated that her mother-in-law, residing with her, is suffering from certain medical ailments and that, in the event of her being relieved from the present place of posting, there would be no family member available to take care of her. The said aspect has not been considered by the Committee.
7. As far as the contention raised by learned counsel for the State that the petitioner has already been relieved and that there is delay in approaching this Court is concerned, considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the grievance of the petitioner regarding the medical condition of her mother-in-law, this Court is of the opinion that the matter still deserves to be considered by the Committee on merits.
8. Accordingly, the instant writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Committee constituted under the Transfer Policy, 2025 to reconsider the representation of the petitioner afresh, specifically taking into consideration the grievance raised by the petitioner regarding the medical condition of her mother-in-law and the difficulties likely to be faced by the family members in the event of her transfer.
9. Let the petitioner submit a fresh copy of the representation along with a certified copy of this order before the Committee within a period of seven days from today. Upon such submission, the Committee shall consider and decide the representation by passing a reasoned and speaking order strictly in accordance with law within a period of 15 days thereafter.
10. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the instant writ petition stands disposed of.
