                                   representation is decided, but in the present case the petitioner

                                   has been relieved though no one has joined at the petitioner's

                                   place and new circular/guidelines dated 24.08.2021 have been

                                   issued.

                                   judgment, which he wishes to rely upon.

                                         In case, a representation is so addressed within the aforesaid

                                   period, the competent authority of respondent shall consider and

                                   decide the same in accordance with law as early as possible,

                                   preferably within a period of two weeks.

                                         Until petitioner's representation is decided, the petitioner

                                   shall be permitted to discharge his duties at present place of

                                   posting (before passing of the impugned order).

                                         It is made clear that aforesaid direction to decide there

                                   presentation has been issued only with a view to ensure

                                   expeditious redressal of petitioner's grievance. The same may not

                                   be construed to be an order to decide the representation in a

                                   particular manner.

                                         The writ petition as well as stay application stand disposed of

                                   accordingly.

                                                                  (DR.PUSHPENDRA SINGH BHATI),J.
