IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA CWP No.18897 of 2025 Date of Decision: 01.12.2025 _____________________________________________________________________ Dr. Nidhi Thakur ……...Petitioner Versus State of Himachal Pradesh & Anr. …....Respondents Coram Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sandeep Sharma, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? For the Petitioner: Mr. Vinay Mehta, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. Rajan Kahol, Vishal Panwar, Additional Advocate General with Mr. Ravi Chauhan, Deputy Advocate General. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral) Petitioner herein, who at present is working as Medical Officer in Community Health Center, Jalog, Block Sunni, District Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, has approached this Court in the instant proceedings, seeking therein direction to the respondents to consider and decide her pending representation (Annexure P-1), whereby she has prayed for her transfer from afore station to one of the stations, as detailed in the representation, on account of her having completed normal tenure of posting. 2. 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. Mr. Kahol, fairly states that representation filed by the petitioner, if not already decided, shall be decided expeditiously. 3. It is one of those cases, where petitioner herself has volunteered to work in hard/tribal area and in that regard, she has already approached competent authority for passing appropriate orders. Since petitioner has already completed normal tenure at present place of posting, coupled with the fact that she is ready and willing to work in hard/tribal area, this Court sees no impediment in issuing directions to the respondents to consider and decide the pending representation of the petitioner (Annexure P-1) 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 appropriate orders. Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. (Sandeep Sharma), Judge December 01, 2025 (sunil) 2
