Having regard to the nature of prayer and order proposed to be passed in the instant petition, this Court sees no necessity to call for the reply from the respondents, who are otherwise represented by Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General. 4. Having taken note of the fact that petitioner has already completed normal tenure of posting at present place of posting and he is yet to undergo ANO training, this Court sees no reason to interfere in the impugned transfer order. However, having taken note of the fact that petitioner has already selected for ANO training, this Court deems it fit to dispose of the present petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and decide the pending representation of the petitioner (Annexure P-3) expeditiously, preferably within a period of ten days. Ordered accordingly.
