Whether approved for reporting? For the Petitioner: Mr. Ankit Dhiman, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr. Anup Rattan, Advocate General, Mr. Rajan Kahol, Additional Advocate General and Mr. Ravi Chauhan & Mr. Anish Banshtu, Deputy Advocates General. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral) Petitioner herein, who at present is working as Drawing Master, GSSS Nainidhar, District Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh, has approached this Court in the instant proceedings, seeking therein direction to the respondents to consider and decide his pending representation (Annexure P-1Colly.) in a time bound manner, whereby he has prayed for his transfer on medical grounds. 2. Having regard to the nature of order proposed to be passed in the instant proceedings, this Court sees no necessity to call for reply from the respondents, who are otherwise represented by Mr. Rajan Kahol, learned Additional Advocate General. Mr. Kahol, fairly states that representation, if not already decided, shall be considered expeditiously in accordance with law. - 2 - 3. Though it is quite apparent from the pleadings adduced on record in the petition, which is duly supported by an affidavit, that petitioner has not completed normal tenure at present place of posting, but once transfer policy formulated by the Government of Himachal Pradesh, enables an employee to seek transfer from on medical grounds coupled with the fact that documents adduced on record by the petitioner suggest that he is suffering from cardiac problem, this court sees no impediment in issuing direction to the respondents to consider and decide pending representation of the petitioner, expeditiously, preferably, within four 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 a speaking order taking note of transfer policy. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. November 6, 2025 (Sandeep Sharma), (manjit) Judge
