Pursuant to the application dated 10.5.2011, he was transferred and posted as Peon, as evidenced by Ext.P3 dated 19.5.2011. However, later on as per order dated 29.8.2011, the petitioner was directed to get himself relieved from the post of Peon and to join the Post of Lascar again. The said order, Ext.P5 is under challenge in this writ petition. According to the petitioner, the petitioner has set out his contentions in a representation that has been submitted to the first respondent, evidenced herein by Ext.P6. The petitioner seeks the issue of a direction for the consideration of his contentions on the merits. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader as well as the learned Standing Counsel for the fifth respondent. 3. Since Ext.P6 is pending consideration of the first respondent, it is necessary that the grievances of the petitioner WPC No.25220 of 2011 2 are considered by the first respondent. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P6 in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
