For the petitioner : Mr. Surinder Saklani, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Additional Advocate General and Mr. J.K. Verma, Deputy Advocate General. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral): The writ petition is filed with the following prayer: “i) That a writ of mandamus may very kindly be issued thereby directing the respondents to transfer the petitioner to one of the station of his choice as mentioned in sub para b of the petition.” 2. The petitioner should have first filed an appropriate representation before the Director, Elementary Education before the writ petition seeking a writ of mandamus could have been and should have been filed. Though the writ petition is liable to be dismissed on that ground, but, in view of the apology tendered by - 2 - the learned counsel and undertaking also that such mistake will not be repeated hereafter, we reluctantly refrain from dismissing the writ petition on that ground. The writ petition is hence disposed of as follows. 3. In the event of the petitioner filing an appropriate representation before the second respondent within two weeks from today, the matter will be considered by the second respondent and appropriate orders in accordance with law and the policy shall be passed thereon, within another one month. The pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice Rajiv Sharma), Judge. September 15, 2011. (sck/hl).
