Learned Additional Advocate General fairly states that representation, if not already decided, shall be decided expeditiously. 3. Careful perusal of the averments contained in the petition, which is duly supported by an affidavit, reveals that petitioner herein has been working as Ayurvedic Medical Officer at Mooling since his initial appointment i.e. 15.10.2022, meaning thereby he has already completed two winters and three summers and as such, required to be transferred to soft area in terms of transfer policy 4. Since petitioner has already approached competent authority by way of representation for redressal of his grievance, this Court without going into the merits of the case, deems it fit to dispose of the present petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and decide representation dated 20.06.2025 (Annexure P-2) of the petitioner expeditiously, preferably within a period of three weeks. Ordered accordingly. Needless to say, authority concerned, while doing the needful in terms of instant order, shall afford an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and pass appropriate order, taking note of transfer policy framed by the Government of Himachal Pradesh. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. 5. p (Sandeep Sharma), Judge July 04,2025 (shankar)
