By means of this petition the petitioner has sought the writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to decide the representation dated 02-11-2010(Annexure No.5 to the writ petition), of the petitioner considering to transfer her in vacant post of Headmistress in Primary School Mostamanu (Vin) District Pithoragarh. During the course of argument learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is serving in inaccessible (durgam) places for the last 13 years and she has been making representations to the authorities concerned for transferring her in any accessible (sugam) region but her applications are not being considered. The petitioner has made representation (Annexure No.5 to the writ petition) for transferring her to the vacant post of Headmistress in Primary School Mostamanu (Vin), before respondent No.1, but the same is still pending. Therefore, the respondent No.1 may be directed to decide the representation of the petitioner by passing a reasoned and speaking order thereon. Prayer made is innocuous.
