By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for the following reliefs: 1.

The stand of the petitioner, who was appointed as Assistant Teacher in Junior Section, is that on bifurcation of the District Udham Singh Nagar, the petitioner gave his option for District Udham Singh Nagar, but the respondents are not paying any heed towards the request of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there are sufficient posts vacant of Assistant Teachers in Junior Section. During the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted for redressal of his grievances, the petitioner has already moved a number of representations before Additional District Education Officer (Basic), Nainital. The last representation, which he has moved is dated 12th December, 2006, which is Annexure 2 to the writ petition. In the circumstances, I deem it fit and proper to direct the Additional Director of Education, Nainital to take decision on the representation of the petitioner dated 12th December, 2006 within a period of four weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this order. With this direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of. All the pending applications stand disposed of. No order as to costs. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) 18.08.2007 VKS
