In view of aforesaid, this petition stands disposed of with direction to the petitioner to make fresh representation before respondent no. 2 to consider his grievance requesting for posting nearby district to his hometown, as he has only two years to go in retirement, within a period four weeks' from today, and in the event any representation is moved, respondent no. 2 will look into and consider the grievance of the petitioner and dispose of the same within a further period of four weeks .
