Learned Deputy Advocate General has placed on record the written instructions in terms of the orders passed on the previous date which reveal that the transfer of one Smt. Leela Devi, JBT from Government Primary School, Dharwas to Government Primary School, Changli could not be implemented by the Resident Commissioner, Pangi, District Chamba, as yet. Being so, the petitioner who is seeking her transfer to Government Primary School, Dharwas cannot be transferred there for want of vacancy. 1Whether reporters of Local Papers may be allowed to see the judgment?

2. The present in the given facts and circumstances is a case where the intervention of this Court is not required and it is rather the respondents to take a decision for transfer of the petitioner from Government Primary School, Sural Bhatori to Government Primary School, Dharwas if it is feasible to do so.

3. We, therefore, dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the petitioner to make a comprehensive representation to respondent No. 3, the Deputy Director of Elementary Education, Chamba, District Chamba, highlighting her grievances therein within two weeks from today. The representation so made will be considered by respondent No. 3 within two weeks thereafter and decision taken qua the transfer of the petitioner from the present place of posting. Liberty of being heard if required be also given to the petitioner. Against the surviving grievances, if any, she shall be at liberty to resort to the remedy available to her in accordance with law.

4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of so also the pending application(s), if any.
