A supplementary affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioner which is taken on record. Petitioner, while posted at Kahalgaon as a constable of Central Industrial Security Force ( for short ‘CISF’), was transferred to Bhawanathpur in the District of Jharkhand. It is the stand of the petitioner that Bhawanathpur is a naxal infested area, and as such, he has approached the authority of the CISF, by filing representation (Annexure-2), to permit him to retain official accommodation allotted to him in Kahalgaon. It is contended with reference to Annexure- 3/A of the supplementary affidavit that Bhawanathpur has been notified as a hard area. His tenure of service at Bhawanathpur, therefore, would be treated as service/tenure in hard area. He has also in this regard placed reliance on the letter dated 21.04.2011 issued by the Under Secretary to the 2 Government of India in the Ministry of Home Affairs (Annexure-3). Learned counsel submits that till today his representation has not been considered and disposed of in accordance with law. Mr. Ahsan, learned Assistant Solicitor General, states that the authorities, in the facts and circumstances of the case, may be directed to consider and dispose of the said representation in accordance with law. Having heard the parties and on perusal of the materials on record, this Court is satisfied that present application be disposed of by the following order:- Let the petitioner file a fresh representation detailing his grievance annexing therewith the relevant document also the copy of the present order before the respondent no.4 (Senior Commandant, CISF, KSHTPP, Kahalgaon, Dist.
