Responding Sri Puneet Chandra, learned counsel for the respondents states that the petitioner has already been relieved. Be that as it may, once the transfer order of the petitioner itself indicates that the petitioner has been transferred on the basis of his own request and in the interest of the Corporation and the petitioner has denied having submitted any said application for his transfer by means of his representation dated 13.06.2025 as such, the instant writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the competent authority who is said to be the respondent no. 2 i.e Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam, Obra Thermal Power Station, Sonbhadra through its Chief General Manager to decide the said representation in accordance with law which representation would be decided within ten days from today.
