Jammu, June 13: In O.A./548/2026 (JAMMU) [ TRANSFER ] titled JAGBIR SINGH Vs ACCOUNTANT GENERAL (AUDIT) DEHLI NEW DELHI
Heard.
Learned counsel for the respondent, Mr. Sumant Sudan argued that it is the prerogative of the employer to decide where to utilise the services of an employee, and the two employees of which the applicant's counsel had pointed out are left with lesser residuary service as compared to the applicant herein.
In rebuttal, the learned counsel for the applicant submitted that though it is the prerogative of the employer to decide the place where the services are to be utilised, the applicant cannot be discriminated by applying different yardsticks in his particular case.
Further, but pressing his argument he submitted that it is not only the case of the two employees referred in the OA, but there are also some other employees who have more residuary service than the applicant, and they have been posted at their choice stations, despite the fact that they have shorter stay as compared to the applicant.
In view of the above, the respondents are directed to explain, why they have not applied their policy uniformly by not considering the applicant's case on similar terms, even when others with shorter stay have been considered for choice posting.
This Tribunal has been informed that vacant posts at the level of the applicant are available at the choice station. The respondents may post the applicant at his choice station.
List on 17.07.2026, for compliance of direction of the Tribunal.
