In the nature of the order we propose to pass in this case, it is not necessary for us to go into the various factual details, at this stage. According to the petitioner, without disturbing the 3rd respondent or anybody else, he can be accommodated against the post of Assistant Public Relation Officer, Dharamshala. It is submitted that he has only less than two years to retire from service. Still further, it is submitted that he is a heart patient and posting at Dharamshala would help him to continue his treatment at Medical college, Tanda. 3. There will be a direction to the second respondent to look into these aspects and take appropriate action in the light of the submissions of the petitioner, some of which are recorded above. This shall be done within a period of two weeks from the date of production of the copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the Writ petition by the petitioner.
