The above release order was passed releasing the petitioner from his present place of posting in the Zonal Office of the respondent organization at Barrackpore for joining in his transferred place of posting at the Regional Office at Shilong.
This matter has a chequered history.
According to the petitioner, he has been appointed to the post of Data Entry Operator (DEO Group-A) on April 5, 2000 and he was posted at Darjeeling. Subsequently, he was transferred to the Regional Office at Kolkata with effect from December 9, 2002. It is the case of the petitioner that he has subsequently been promoted to the post of Data Entry Operator (DEO Group-C). According to the petitioner, meanwhile the Government created a new entry cadre of Data Processing Assistant (DPA Group-C) in the Electronic Data Processing (EDP) Cell under the Employees Provident Fund Organization adopting a further policy to abolish to the post of Data Entry Operator re-designated the existing Data Entry Operators as Data Processing Assistant.
7. With this, the O.A. is disposed of. There shall be no orders as to costs."
It is the contention of the petitioner before us that though, while passing the above order the learned Tribunal also directed the parties to maintain status quo with regard to the present posting of the petitioner at the Regional Office at Barrackpore, that has not gone down in the order inadvertently. It is also the contention of the petitioner that two other similarly circumstanced Data Processing Assistant filed similar original application, those were disposed of passing identical orders in their favour directing the respondent authority to consider their respective representations as also directing further the parties to maintain status quo with regard to their respective place of present posting till disposal of their representations and communication of the decision of the authority to them.
It will not be out of context to record that we came across two writ petitions filed by two petitioners holding the post of Data Processing Assistant in the same organization where the subject matters for consideration were similar orders of transfers. The above writ applications were bearing Nos. W.P.C.T. No. 18 of 2018 and W.P.C.T. No. 19 of 2018 respectively.
The aforesaid writ petitions were arising out of the original application bearing O.A. No.326 of 2018 (In Re: Amit Sengupta - Vs.- The Union of India & Ors.) and O.A. No. 327 of 2018 (In Re: Siddhartha Shankar Maurya -Vs. - The Union of India & Ors.), both the above original applications were disposed of by the learned Tribunal on March 5, 2018.
