The petitioner who is posted as Junior Clerk at District Jail, Nainital has filed present writ petition for a direction to the Inspector General of Jail, Uttarakhand, Dehradun (respondent no.2) to consider his representation for transfer From District Jail, Nainital to Sampoornanand Shivir, Sitraganj, District Udham Singh Nagar. 3. Counsel for the petitioner submitted that respondent no.3 Smt. Kavita Arya who is posted as Junior Clerk at Sampoornanand Shivir, Sitarganj, District Udham Singh Nagar has given consent to come to Nainital and, in fact, both of them moved representation on 10th February 2009 before the respondent no.2 for mutual transfer, but no decision has yet been taken by respondent no.2. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is posted at District Jail Nainital since 2001 and eight years have passed at present place of posting. It is vehemently submitted by him that mother of the petitioner is suffering from Asthama and his two 2 sisters are studying in the Degree College, Khatima. Due to these reasons the petitioner is seeking his transfer from District Jail Nainital so that he may look after his family. He submitted that a joint representation was given by him alongwith respondent no.3 on 10.02.2009 before respondent no.2. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner prayed that respondent no.2 may be directed to consider the joint representation moved by the petitioner and the respondent no.3 for their mutual transfer within the period prescribed by this Court. At this juncture, learned Standing Counsel does not have any objection. 6. The prayer is innocuous. 7. Accordingly, the respondent no.2 is directed to decide the representation of the petitioner (annexure no. 4 to the writ petition) within a period of three weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. With this direction the writ petition is disposed of. 8. No order as to costs. (V.K. Bist, J.) 20.05.2009 NCM:
