AN/I/39 dated 30.08.2021, issued from the office of the 3 rd respondent, by which she stands transferred to Mumbai. Hence, the applicant has approached this Tribunal praying for the aforementioned reliefs.

When the matter taken up as today matter, Advocate Mr.Anil Kumar,Sr.PCGC takes notice on behalf of the respondents and submits that he requires time for filing a short reply statement.
