----Transfer and posting---Non-existence of relevant post at the place of posting---Effect---Post of the petitioner admittedly did not exist at the moment, therefore, the transfer of the petitioner on a post, which did not exist, had put the petitioner to a disadvantageous position as to his appointment and promotion and holding of his present post---Respondents had been unable to justify that any such post had been created, therefore, the action taken by the respondents was held not to be in consonance with their rules and the availability of the post---Constitution petition was accordingly disposed of with a direction to the competent authority to ensure proper posting of the petitioner as per his appointment by way of promotion at the place of his posting.
