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. Ravi Chauhan, learned Deputy Advocate General. Mr. Ravi, fairly states that petitioner has not completed his normal tenure of posting at present place and as such prayer made on her behalf for transfer cannot be accepted. 4. Having taken of the fact that petitioner is about to complete his normal tenure at present place of posting within a period of two months, coupled with the fact that Transfer Policy formulated by the Government of Himachal Pradesh, enables an employee to seek transfer/adjustment on the ground of couple case, this Court sees no impediment in issuing directions to the respondents to consider and decide the pending representation of the petitioner dated 22.08.2025 (Annexure P-2) expeditiously, preferably within four weeks from today. Ordered accordingly. Needless to say, authority concerned, while doing the needful in terms of instant order, shall afford an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and pass 3 appropriate orders taking note of observations made herein above as well as Transfer Policy formulated by the Government of Himachal Pradesh. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. (Sandeep Sharma), Judge September 15, 2025 (Shamsh Tabrez)
