Since one year has been passed and the transfer of the petitioner was stayed by this Court vide order dated 28.08.2025; as such, learned counsel for both the parties submit that since petitioner is already in the original place of posting, as such, interest of justice would be sufficed by granting liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation which shall be considered in accordance with applicable rules, regulation and also the guidelines with regard to transfer of employees. 3. Having regard to the fair submissions of the parties, the instant application stands disposed of by directing the petitioner to file fresh representation before the respondent No. 3. The moment the respondent No. 3 will receive any such representation; he shall take an informed decision in 2026:JHHC:27924 2 accordance with law and applicable rules and regulations, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of such representation. 4.
