IS this transfer logical?
Banani Ghosh has been getting her postings of convenience if one looks at her posting profile. In 2006, she barely remained in Bhubaneswar for 2 months and went back to Kolkata. There is no shortage of such officers, and the order of October 2008 referred by her well wisher includes other such names like T K Shah from Jabalpur to Indore and Manivel Raju from Orissa to Kolkata ,within 3 months. OG Ganvir was shifted from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in less than a year in the June order . such transfers are also clearly against transfer policy. These officers have also suffered like Banani Ghosh due to transfer within 3 months

Prejudice of CBDT against female tribals officers
Ms. Benani Ohosh CIT 79 transferred out mid year shows the prejudice of the CBDT against female tribal officers. These rules have no application to the upper caste [actual caste or IAS wife caste]. In CBDT, the sick, the tribals, the SC, the unheard, have no case what so ever. The transfer policy is thrown in their face again and again and again. The CBDT has lost the transfer policy case in CAT and High Court but like a adamant spoilt child, CBDT continues to agitate it before the Supreme Court. If they lose there, they might amend the law to overcome and overpower the poor and the down trodden.
Another IRS transfer anomaly
CBDT is quite capable of being benign [dictionary meaning is non-cancerous] to lady officers. One UP IAS IRS wife was recently relieved for joining a regulatory authority on deputation despite there being a very specific and clear rule in the transfer policy that any officer who is directly selected [through won efforts] will not under any circumstances be allowed to join there and applications will be invited from all officers. The policy obviously did not envisage the special circumstances of this lady officer. This is a feedback in ref to the lady transfers during mid-year given in the whispers of 7th Nov. Another such mid year transfer is the posting of a lady from Indore to Agra to a very lousy post [ITAT]. Lady officers are being put in ITAT, OSD, CIB, Audit, but not as administrative CIT despite the transfer policy saying that seniority adjustment will be made and senior officers will be made administrative CIT. The IRS transfer policy should become a case study of its total non-implementation. Even medical cases of cancer are treated on basis of selection of the fittest or the best connected. There is a lady CIT who after spending decades in Delhi and CBDT has been posted to Mumbai.

Kumar
A reply for the question asked by Pradeep.
When America didn't ask this question to Obama, who are we to ask that? We Indians are proficient in picking waste from the best.
MHK
Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim or a Christian?
Answer: He is Amrican US
Sir, till which century will we able to understand that once you reach on such a height you don't have Muslim and Hindu or Chris....we must avoid this type.
Ghaus Mohammed
I think Barrack Hussein Obama is basically Muslim but later he converted to other religion.
Achla
This should be sufficient that he is an American. Why his religion is required?
Pradeep
I think Barak Obama is a human being and that is what ultimately matters. I fail to understand why people are concerned about such a trivial matter.
