It is further submitted that petitioner was transferred to present place of posting Kunkuri only on 05.09.2024 and within a period of about one year and three months he was again transferred from Kunkuri to Chirmiri Sub Division Manendragarh. He submits that every one or two year petitioner has been transferred against which he has already submitted representation. However, till date representation is also not considered and decided. He also pointed out that till date petitioner has not been relieved from present place of posting i.e. Store Depot Kunkuri, Regional Depot Division Vishrampur. 4. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that transfer of petitioner is on the administrative exigency and earlier transfers as per his information were also on administrative exigency. He however submits that as the petitioner has submitted document showing that he has already submitted representation before respondent No.2 which is pending consideration, it will be considered in accordance with law. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents annexed along with writ petition. 6. The case of petitioner is that petitioner is subjected to frequent transfer. He has also enclosed document to show that petitioner has been transferred in very short span of time from one place to another. As stated, this is the tenth transfer order within a period of thirteen years. Petitioner has already submitted representation before respondent No.2 which, as stated by learned counsel for the parties, is the competent authority to consider the grievance of petitioner against order of transfer and therefore in the facts of case, instead of keeping this writ petition pending seeking reply from respondents, this writ 4 / 4 petition at this stage is disposed off directing respondent No.2 to take decision on the pending representation of petitioner in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of 4 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order. 7. Till decision is taken on the representation of petitioner, status quo as it exists today with respect to place of posting of petitioner shall be maintained by the parties.
