The petitioner appeared to have submitted a representation to the first respondent on 08.04.2005 to reconsider his retention at Kalwakurthy Bus Depot. The grievance of the petitioner is that the first respondent did not pass any order on the representation made by him. Since the representation of the petitioner is pending before the first respondent, he cannot maintain the present writ petition. The first respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 08.04.2005 regarding his transfer from Kalwakurthy Bus Depot as expeditiously as possible. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________________ Dr. G.YETHIRAJULU, J. Dated: 10th May, 2005. NOTE: Issue C.C. in two days.
