3.The grievance of the petitioner is that his appeal dated 18.09.2018, which was filed against the order passed by the second respondent, rejecting the claim of the petitioner to permit him to rejoin in his parent Department, is pending consideration before the first respondent and hence the petitioner has approached this Court, for appropriate orders.
