Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there was no complaint against the petitioner and he has been arbitrarily transferred on administrative ground, though he was previously transferred on 14.06.2006 from Ghansali, district Tehri Garhwal to Narendra Nagar, Tehri Garhwal. It is further submitted that the petitioner, raising his grievances, has already moved a representation on 15.01.2007 before the Chief Engineer, Garhwal Division, Public Works Department, Pauri which is annexed as annexure no. 7 to the writ petition and the said representation is still pending before the respondent who has not taken any action on his representation. In the circumstances, I deem it fit and proper to direct the Chief Engineer, Garhwal Division, Public Works Department, Pauri/respondent no. 2 to take decision on the representation of the petitioner dated 15.01.2007, by a speaking order, within a period of three weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of this order.
