Sah, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Hon’ble Prafulla C. Pant, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 2 By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the order dated 14.03.2008, passed by respondent No.2, whereby the petitioner-Bhuwan Chand Karnatak, a Revenue Inspector, is transferred from Bhanoli to Bhikiyasain. 3. The order appears to have been passed in the public interest. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and after going through the papers on record, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the impugned transfer order and thinks it just and proper to dispose of the writ petition summarily directing the respondent No.2 to consider and decide the representation of the petitioner. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of summarily with the direction that respondent No. 2 may consider and decide the representation dated 20.03.2008 (copy annexure-3 to the writ petition) within a reasonable period. (Stay Application No. 1563 of 2008, accordingly stands disposed of). (Prafulla C. Pant, J.) Dt. 28.03.2008 Sweta
