[4] Being aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondents, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 24/8/2020 requesting the respondents to get him transferred and posted at CHC Kakching or CHC Haoreibi Makha Leikai which are lying vacant. As the respondents fail to consider the representation, the instant writ petition has been filed by him praying for consideration of the representation dated 24/8/2020.
[5] When the matter is taken up for consideration, it has been submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the instant writ petition can be disposed of by issuing an innocuous order to which Shri Vashum, learned Government Advocate has no objection. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of with the direction that the respondents and in particular, respondent No. 2 shall consider the representation dated 24/8/2020 submitted by the petitioner within 2 (two) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and dispose of the same by issuing a speaking order.
