Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent submits that it is a case of general transfer of 205 and 45 persons have been transferred out of zone. Any accommodation to petitioner would disturb the entire transfer process. The petitioner cannot be posted at a lower post because it would create a lot of administrative issues. Nevertheless, she submits that petitioner is at liberty to move an appropriate representation which would be sympathetically considered by the competent authority. 4.

Faced with this, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he would submit representation which respondent may consider in a time bound manner.

5.

In the wake of statement of both sides, the petition stands disposed of. The respondent shall consider representation of the petitioner sympathetically.
