This writ petition has been filed mainly challenging Ext.P4 order of transfer. Various contentions have been raised to challenge Ext.P5. However, it is evident that even prior to the institution of this writ petition, the petitioner has approached the first respondent raising his grievances through Ext.P5. The said representation is still pending before the first respondent. In the said circumstances, I do not think it necessary to consider the merits of the contentions at this stage. In view of the position thus obtained this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P5 representation and pass appropriate orders thereon, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of coy of this judgment. Needless to say that person/persons likely to be effected shall also be put on notice before passing orders n Ext.P5. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
