Having regard to the nature of prayer and order proposed to be passed, this Court sees no necessity to call for reply on behalf of the respondents, who are otherwise represented by Mr. Ravi Chauhan, learned Deputy Advocate General. Learned Deputy Advocate General states that since petitioner has not completed his 1Whether the reporters of the local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2 normal tenure of posting at present place of posting, prayer made on his behalf for transfer cannot be accepted. 3. Though, petitioner herein has not completed normal tenure of posting, as is evident from the pleadings adduced on record, but once transfer policy formulated by the Government of Himachal Pradesh enables an employee to seek transfer/adjustment on the ground of couple case, this Court, without going into the merits of the case, deems it fit to dispose of the same, with a direction to the respondents to consider and decide the pending representation (Annexure 2)of the petitioner expeditiously, preferably within a period of four weeks. 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 order, taking note of the fact that wife of the petitioner is also working as TGT (Non-Medical) and at present is posted at Government Senior Secondary School Talmehra, District Una, Himachal Pradesh and there is also one vacant post of TGT(Medical) qua which, petitioner can be adjusted. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. 1. p (Sandeep Sharma), Judge December 05, 2025 (shankar)
