                                    (A.K.Mathur and Aftab Alam,JJ.)

                                                 29.02.2008

                                                   ORDER

(Arising out of S.L.P.(C) No.4169 of 2008)

1. Issue notice. Mr. Ravindra Shrivastava, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the
respondent-caveator accepts notice. We have heard learned counsels for the parties. Leave
granted. This appeal is directed against the judgment and interim order dated 21.11.2007
passed by the High Court of Chhattisgarh at Bilaspur in Writ Appeal No.255 of 2007 staying
the transfer of incumbent from one place to another. Normally the Courts should not interfere
in transfer matters unless there are very very compelling circumstances. Therefore, the
interim order passed by the High Court staying the transfer of the respondent was not correct.
...2/- -2- In the facts and circumstances of the case, we set aside the interim order dated
21.11.2007 passed by the High Court and direct that the Writ Appeal itself be heard and
disposed of expeditiously as far as possible within three months.

2. This appeal is accordingly, disposed of.
