Briefly stated, the petitioner, a Lower Division Clerk, working in the respondent Corporation, has been transferred to another place within the city, through Exhibit P1. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner is said to have submitted Exhibit P5 representation before the third respondent. Seeking expeditious disposal of the said representation, the petitioner has approached this Court.
