P.C. Verma and M.C. Jain, JJ.
1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after appointed date, he initially opted for Uttar Pradesh, but after re-thinking over the matter, the petitioner withdrew the first option and has opted for Uttaranchal. But despite his second option, he is being relieved for Uttar Pradesh though no final allocation has been made as yet by the Government of India. Under the U. P. Reorganisation Act, final allocation is to be made by the Government of India.
2. Therefore, till final decision is taken by the Government of India as per Section 73 of the U. P. Reorganisation Act, the petitioner shall not be compelled to go and join in the State of U. P. If he has already been relieved, he shall be allowed to continue, and any order passed in connection with his relieving shall be inoperative.
3. The petition is disposed of accordingly.
