If such a representation is made by the petitioner to the respondent, the same shall be considered and decided by a speaking order within a period of three weeks from the date of the receipt of the representation in accordance with law and the guidelines of the State Government in the matter of transfer of a Government servant. 5. With the above direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. 6. With the above order CLAM No. 11342 of 2006 also stands disposed of. (Rajesh Tandon, J.) (Rajeev Gupta, C.J.) 5.9.2006 05.09.2006 A
