Meet the higher officials, personal approach may work better.

if your representations have not been replied to you will have to move court for necessary reliefs

It is not a blanket instruction that husband and wife should be posted in the same station. The instruction is circumscribed with the words "as far as possible". Therefore, such requests would be considered only taking into account the exigencies of the Administrative needs. I don't think that Court will come to your rescue, as it is purely administrative convenience and there does not seem to be any malafide / arbitrary / discriminatory treatment. You have to pursue and follow up with the Department.

Your wife may approach the CAT. But the relief could only be to the extent of directing the Department to consider the request; there cannot be an absolute direction.

It is not a rule or matter of right, and depends upon the exigencies and probabilities.

Agreed, the situation depends on the service exigencies too which includes administrative difficulties.

Agreed, the situation depends on the service exigencies too which includes administrative difficulties. The spouse posting is a welfare measure announced by the government and not a matter of right of the employees.
