ORDER (Order of the Court was made by M.S.RAMESH.J) Being aggrieved by the order of the Central Administrative Tribunal passed in O.A.No.570 of 2025 dated 12.06.2025, refusing to grant interim ex parte relief against the impugned transfer order, the present Writ Petition has been filed.

¶2Heard Mr.R.S.Anandan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.C.V.Ramachandramurthy, learned counsel appearing for the respondents 1 to 3.

¶3Though several grounds have been raised in this Writ Petition, we have taken into account of the fact that the petitioner's wife had prematurely delivered twin babies, and on a sympathetic consideration, when we had indicated to the petitioner as to whether he would be willing to join the place to which he has been transfered, after one year, he had accepted the offer and has also filed a duly signed affidavit dated

03.07.2025 to that effect. The relevant portion of the affidavit reads as follows: "3. I respectively submit that because of the family circumstances and for taking care of the twin infant male child, I could not move out from Chennai. Therefore, I may be retained at Chennai for another one more year. I undertake to accept any transfers made after one year as per the transfer policy of ESIC."

¶4The aforesaid affidavit is hereby recorded. Consequently, the relieving order issued to the petitioner herein dated 20.05.2025 and

13.06.2025, pursuant to the transfer order dated 06.06.2024, shall be kept in abeyance. The respondent shall pass fresh orders directing the petitioner to join either at ESICH, Tirunelveli, or any other station, with effect from 03.07.2026. Both parties shall bring the present order to the notice of the Central Administrative Tribunal for further course of action.

¶5With the above direction, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. [M.S.R., J] [V.L.N., J]
