CENTRAL ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL JABALPUR Order Sheet Item no.: 2 O.A./507/2026 (JABALPUR) [ TRANSFER ] Court No.: 2 No of Adjournment: Order Dated: 16/06/2026 SUBODH KUMAR SINGH Vs DEFENCE For Applicant(s) Advocate : Shri S Ganguly For Respondent(s) Advocate : Shri S P Singh Order of The Tribunal Heard. Shri S P Singh, learned Sr. CGSC, appears on advance notice on behalf of the respondents. Issue notice to the respondents as per rules. The applicant sought for the following interim relief: "9. That during pendency of the present OA, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Tribunal may kindly be pleased to Stay the impugned orders Annexure A/1 and Annexure A/7 and direct the respondent authorities not to disturb the applicant in any manner whatsoever from the present place of posting, i.e. Joint Director, OFIL, Khamaria, to secure teh ends of justice." The counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is having 90% disability with vision impairment. Applicant has been transferred from Jabalpur to Itarsi despite having been 4 posts in his cadre at Jabalpur and only 3 persons including the applicant are working. Further, the mother of the applicant is suffering from Ovarian Cancer and transfer of the applicant will also affect the treatment of his mother. He has relied on the OM dated 02.02.2024 issued by DoP&T regarding PwD. Moreover, the counsel for the applicant has relied on various judgments in support of his contention.

The counsel for the respondents vehemently opposed the prayer of the applicant for grant of interim relief. He submitted that the applicant is a Group 'A' officer appointed by the UPSC and he is having all All India Transfer liability. The transfer/posting order dated 22.05.2026 (Annexure A/1) has been issued in company's interest. He has been transferred from Jabalpur to Itarsi only. Further the policy regarding PwD does not bar to transfer an employee. The mother of the applicant is not dependent on the applicant as father of the applicant is an ex-army personnel. The judgments relied upon by the counsel for the applicant are not applicable to the case of the applicant. I have considered the rival contentions of the parties on the prayer for grant of interim relief. In view of the submissions made by the counsel for the parties, prima facie, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned order. Accordingly, the prayer of the applicant for grant of interim relief is hereby rejected. Reply be filed within four weeks. List this matter for furhter consideration on 31.07.2026. Issue certified copy. Akhil Kumar Srivastava Member (J) Vishal Kushwah ( steno 'c' )
