This Writ Petition has been filed challenging Exhibit P2 order of transfer. The contention of the petitioner is that without assigning any reason, Exhibit P1 order of transfer was modified as per Exhibit P2. According to him, it was cancelled without any demand from his part and at the same time, on account of the pressure exerted by a trade union. In such circumstances, raising grievance against Exhibit P2, the petitioner has submitted Exhibit P3 representation before the second respondent. It is still pending before the second respondent. In view of the fact that the petitioner has already taken up his grievance before the second respondent through Exhibit P3 representation, without making any observation as to the merits of the contention raised in this Writ Petition or in Exhibit P3, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit P3 representation as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this WP(C).13274/11 - 2 - judgment. If the substitute has not already taken charge in the place of the petitioner, the petitioner shall be permitted to continue in the present station till orders are passed on Exhibit P3.
