Ghildiyal, J. Heard Sri S.K. Mandal, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri N.P. Shah, learned Standing Counsel State of Uttarakhand for the respondents. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the impugned transfer order dated 14.07.2007, by which the petitioner, who is working as Auditor, has been transferred from the office of District Audit Office, Narendranagar, Tehri Garhwal to District Audit Office, Chamoli. This order has been assailed by the petitioner mainly on three grounds. First, that the petitioner’s wife is seriously ill and is confined to bed and if the petitioner is transferred, there is no one to look after her. Second, that the petitioner is 57 years old and the last is that there are four posts of Auditor, against which only the petitioner is working and the remaining three posts are still vacant, and in case, the petitioner is transferred there is no one to discharge the duty of Auditor in the department. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that raising all his grievances, the petitioner has already moved a representation on 07.07.2007 to respondent no. 1, which is still pending. Learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that respondent no.2, District Audit Officer, Narendranagar, Tehri Garhwal has already recommended the representation of the petitioner and till 18th July, 2007, because of the recommendation of respondent no. 2, the petitioner has not been relieved. Learned counsel for the petitioner has alleged that considering all these circumstances, petitioner should not have been transferred. In the circumstances aforesaid, I deem it fit and proper to direct the respondent no. 1 to decide the representation of the petitioner dated 07.07.2007 by a speaking order on all the grounds raised by the petitioner within a period of two weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this order before him. With this direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of. All the pending applications stand disposed of. (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) 16.08.2007 VKS
