(Oral) This petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution prays for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to give posting to the petitioners in District Faridabad where they were initially appointed as the posts held by them are district cadre posts and they cannot be transferred from one district to another i.e. from Faridabad to Mewat without obtaining consent of the petitioners. A further prayer has been made to direct the respondents to re-transfer the petitioners back to District Faridabad. CWP No. 16875 of 2006 For the relief claimed in the instant petition, the petitioners have already sent a legal notice, dated 5.8.2006 (P-5) to the respondents. Without going into the merits of the case, we deem it just and appropriate to direct the respondents to take cognizance of the legal notice sent by the petitioners and decide the same expeditiously preferably within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is presented to them. It shall be appreciated if a speaking order is passed. Petition stands disposed of in the above terms. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (M.M.S. BEDI) October 26, 2006 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
