PATIL ORAL ORDER (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAYKUMAR A. PATIL) This writ petition is filed challenging the order dated 27.01.2025 passed by the Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal, wherein the Tribunal has issued the following directions: - 3 - NC: 2025:KHC-K:1750-DB WP No. 200818 of 2025 “The respondents are directed to consider the representation of the applicant dated 29.11.2024 vide Annexure-A4 in accordance with law, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this order.” 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been appointed as a primary school Assistant Teacher in Urdu Science and she has chosen the place as per the counseling held between 19.08.2024 and 21.08.2024. However, when she joined the said school, she found that she has been requested to teach Mathematics subject. Hence, she prayed the Tribunal to issue mandamus to change her posting. However, the Tribunal without considering the same, directed the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner. But, the same has not yet considered by the authorities. Hence, he seeks to allow this writ petition by directing the respondents to post the petitioner at a place, where post of teacher of Urdu Science subject is available. 3. Per contra, learned Additional Government Advocate has supported the order passed by the Tribunal - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC-K:1750-DB WP No. 200818 of 2025 and submitted that the Tribunal has passed the impugned order in favour of the petitioner and insofar as the consideration of the representation of the petitioner is concerned, the authorities would consider the same, if not already considered and pass appropriate orders within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. The said submission is placed on record. 4. We have heard the arguments of both the counsel and perused the materials available on record. 5. The Tribunal considering the rival submission has directed the respondents-authorities to address the grievance of the petitioner as aired in representation dated 29.11.2024. However, it appears that the authorities have not considered the representation as directed and not taken any decision on the said representation, despite the Tribunal granting time of one month from the date of receipt of the copy of the order. Hence, were are of the opinion that the interest of justice would be met, if - 5 - NC: 2025:KHC-K:1750-DB WP No. 200818 of 2025 respondents-authorities are directed to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 29.11.2024, as directed by the Tribunal, within a period of 2 weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The decision taken by the authorities shall be communicated to the petitioner. 6. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed off. Sd/- (K NATARAJAN) JUDGE Sd/- (VIJAYKUMAR A.
