3. Consultation must be an effective consultation and sending a telegram on 31-7-1986 which is said to have been received on the office of Block Development in the evening of 31st itself and without giving an opportunity to express the view in the matter it cannot be said to be an effective consultation. Thus, sending of the telegram and asking a person to express opinion within few hours is nothing but misuse of power by the Government. Now in the facts and circumstances the transfer order of the petitioner Vikas Adhikari Panchayat Samiti Shrimadhopur cannot be said to be good in the eye of law. The transfer order of Jagdish Prasad Vyas is set aside. However, it is observed that in the light of the amendments if the State Government wants to issue fresh transfer order they will be at liberty to do so. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
