The writ petition is dismissed in limine with the observation that the petitioner may make representation for redressal of her grievances to the authority concerned after joining her duties at the place where she is directed to join her duties and the authority concerned may decide the representation, within a period of one month thereafter. (Stay Application No. 2903 of 2008 also stands dismissed, accordingly). (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) [ Dt. May 21, 2008. H.Negi
