The Court Made the Following : ORDER: Heard both the learned Counsel. The petitioner, who was appointed initially as conductor in Sri Venkateswara Region, now seeks to assail the impugned orders dated 27-01-1993, whereby his request for proper allotment to the region has not been considered, nor acceded to. The case of the petitioner is that in spite of appointment in the said region, he has been allotted to other region viz., Bhagyanagar region. However, according to him he is entitled to be allotted to Sri Venkateswara region, more so in view of the fact that his wife is also working in the said region. The representation filed by the petitioner has been rejected by the impugned orders on the ground that there is no merit therein. Considering the submissions made and also on perusal of the material, it is seen that the impugned order does not give any reasons as to why the petitioner is not entitled to that allotment to the Sri Venkateswara region, nor there is any finding even in regard to the option exercised by the petitioner. In the circumstances, it is felt more desirable that the petitioner should file a fresh representation to the respondents herein and on receipt of which the same shall be considered on merits and disposed of in accordance with law within a period of three months thereof, after giving notice and opportunity to the petitioner. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed and the impugned proceedings No.PDI/367(20)91-Dy.M(P)-II dated 27-01-1993 are set aside. No costs. That Rule Nisi has been made absolute as above. Witness the Hon’ble Sri Devinder Gupta, the Chief Justice, on this Friday, the Eighteenth Day of June Two Thousand and Four. ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER 1.
