It is stated that such application made under the Transfer of Registry Rules is still pending consideration and that no orders have been passed or communicated to him. It is stated that, when the petitioner made an application under the Right to Information Act, he has been issued Ext.P3 order informing the reasons for not passing orders. It is in these circumstances, seeking to quash Ext.P3 and for directing to effect mutation, the writ petition is filed. 2. Going by the pleadings, 2nd respondent is yet to pass orders on the application made by the petitioner for mutation, and therefore, necessarily at this stage, what is required is that the 2nd respondent should consider the application made by the petitioner and pass orders thereon. Thereafter, if the petitioner is aggrieved by such order, it is open to the petitioner to seek his remedies that are available under the Transfer of Registry Rules. WPC No. 37984/10 :2 : 3. Therefore, I direct that on the production of a copy of this judgment, the 2nd respondent will consider the application made by the petitioner under the Transfer of Registry Rules and pass orders thereon and communicate the same to the petitioner. This the 2nd respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
