As per the respondent No.4 the order "B" was
passed in administrative exigency, therefore, this
Court should restrain itself from interfering with the
same. It is also stated that the petitioner is a

could have not been posted in Barmer District.
Relevant to note that by the circular dated 17.11.1959

Officers in their home districts and by the order
dated 22.6.1989 the post of Regional Forest Officer
was declared as a Gazetted post. Counsel for the
respondent No.4 also placed reliance upon the
judgments of Hon'ble Supreme Court in Union of India

Sangathan v. Damodar Prasad Pandey & Ors. [(2004)12
