THE ALLAHABAD High Court on Monday declined to interfere with the government’s order to transfer Allahabad divisional commissioner (DC) Dr Lalit Verma. The State Government had transferred Dr Verma from the post recently.
Today’s order was passed by a Division Bench, comprising Justice AK Yog and Justice RK Rastogi, after hearing advocate-general SMA Kazmi. The advocate-general had supported the State Government’s order transferring Dr Verma from Allahabad.
An advocate of the Allahabad High Court Suvarna Singh had filed an application before the Division Bench, seeking intervention and suitable action against the officers concerned, who, in violation of High Court orders, had passed the order transferring Dr Verma from Allahabad.
The plea of the petitioner was that the divisional commissioner could not have been transferred without permission of the court. The court heard the parties at length and refused to interfere with the transfer of Dr Verma.
