    Case Summary: WP(C) No. 18404 of 2026 The High Court of Orissa disposed of Manoj Das's writ petition challenging his transfer order dated 8.6.2026, which he contended violated G.A. Department guidelines and State Forest Headquarters instructions requiring minimum 1 year 6 days tenure before transfer. Rather than quashing the transfer order, the court granted the petitioner liberty to file a fresh representation before the Regional Chief Conservator of Forests (Opp. Party No. 3) within 2 weeks with supporting documents, directing the authority to decide within 2 weeks thereafter. Status quo regarding the petitioner's continuance was maintained pending this decision. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
