Despite all this, the learned Counsel for the petitioner insisted that this Court may cancel the impugned transfer order as the same is contrary to the instructions and a midterm transfer within two years of the superannuation, regardless of the consequences by any action which the State Govt. may take in the matter during the pendency of the inquiry.

Under the circumstances, we allow this petition and quash the impugned order of transfer dated 4th Nov., 1992 (Annexure P-2) as the same is contrary to the instructions of the State Govt. as also in view of the fact that the petitioner is attaining the age of superannuation on 30th June, 1994, and his transfer in the month of Nov., 1992 is a midterm transfer. There shall be no order as to costs.
