Ex.P2 discloses that the Board is taking steps to relocate the transformer presently standing in the petitioner's land for the reason that the posts on which it stands have deteriorated. The request made by the petitioner in Ext.P2 is to shift it out of his land or to relocate it elsewhere in his land. 2. When the writ petition came up for admission today, Sri.P.P.Thajudeen, learned standing counsel appearing for the Board submitted on instructions that in the event of the petitioner filing an appropriate representation before the third respondent, the said respondent will consider the same and take an appropriate decision thereon. In the light of the said submission, I dispose of the writ petition with the direction that in the event of the petitioner WPC No.15579/2011 2 filing an appropriate representation before the third respondent, the third respondent shall consider the same and take an appropriate decision thereon within two days thereafter, after affording the petitioner an opportunity of being heard and after conducting a local inspection of the site where the transformer now stands.
