She was appointed as such by transfer from the post of U.P.S.A. with effect from 01-02-2002 pursuant to the recommendation made by the selection committee constituted for the said purpose. The said appointment was approved with effect from 05-08-2002. According to the petitioner, the said vacancy against which the petitioner was appointed arose on 15-07-2001. The claim of the petitioner is that she ought to have been appointed by transfer against the said post with effect from the date of its occurrence i.e., with effect from 15-07-2001. In the said circumstances, the petitioner has approached the first respondent through Ext.P10 dated 15-12-2009. In fact, the prayer of the petitioner therein is for consideration to give effect to her appointment from 15-07-2001 in the light of a Division Bench decision of this Court in W.A. No.2245/2000 dated 22-01-2003. The petitioner has filed this writ petition being aggrieved by the delay in the matter of disposal of WPC.16560/2010 : 2 : the said representation. The petitioner is also seeking the benefit of Ext.P9 Government Order dated 20-11-2004. 2. Ext.P10 representation has been filed by the petitioner before the Government raising the aforesaid claims and contentions. A perusal of Ext.P10 would reveal that the relevant provision under which the same was moved before the Government was not mentioned therein. In such circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions as also with respect to the maintainability of Ext.P10, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P10 including its maintainability, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, with notice to the petitioner and the fourth respondent.
