UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Leave granted.

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

The appellants before us are Doctors including those involved in teaching and they are dissatisfied with the allocation of cadre after bifurcation of the erstwhile State of Andhra Pradesh.

The High Court in the judgment(s) under appeal(s) has rejected their plea. At this stage, we are not making any comment about the legality of the allocation process. But, we are apprised by the learned counsel for the respondents that it might be possible in individual cases of request to decide such plea through mutually transfer process, or for any other reason which is acceptable to the State when allotment is sought. For this exercise, however, both the states will have to depute Officers and joint decision could be taken in coordination with the Central Government.

In the given context, we are not disposing of the appeals at this stage but we request the Central Government to depute a senior officer having the rank of Joint Secretary or above who could facilitate this exercise and let the two States also depute a senior officer each for considering the transfer request from one State to another on a case to case basis. The individual appellants, who are parties to these appeals shall be at liberty to approach the panel comprising of the senior officers of the two States and the Central Government, with their respective grievances.

Let this exercise be completed within a period of three months.

The three officers representing the Union and the two States shall formulate the procedure for considering the representation of the individual appellants and we do not make personal hearing to each individual officer a mandatory for completion of this exercise, as this request shall also be seen on a case to case basis.

In the event any of the appellants have already joined their allocated post by now, then the State in which they have joined shall pay their salary but this arrangement again would be subject to final outcome of these appeals.

The first meeting of the Committee shall be convened within a period of fourteen days. The date and place shall be fixed by the Officer of the Central Government.

Let these appeals be listed after four months and on the next date of hearing, a report on the outcome of this exercise shall be

5

placed before this Court.
