Hon'ble Shri Justice Ravindra Kumar Agrawal Order on Board 23-06-2025 1. By way of these writ petitions, the petitioners are challenging the impugned transfer orders and action of the respondents whereby the petitioners have been declared surplus Teachers and consequently transferred under the Teacher Rationalization Instructions. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that list of surplus Teachers published by the respondents is against the rationalization instructions and the same is arbitrary as no proper opportunity of hearing was given to the petitioners and if the petitioners are not granted interim relief, they will suffer with irreparable loss. Therefore, the impugned orders are liable to be set aside. 3. Learned counsel for the State would submit that after due verification of 4 records the petitioners have been transferred under the rationalization instructions issued by the State Government. They would further submit that if the petitioners are having any grievance, they may move fresh representation before the concerned District Rationalization Committee and the Committee will take a decision on their representation in accordance with law within a stipulated period. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the pleadings and documents. 5. In view of submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the petitioners are directed to make fresh representation before the concerned District Rationalization Committee within a period of five days from today, and appear before the said Committee on 30th June, 2025. Thereafter, the Committee shall decide the representation(s) of the petitioners within seven days from the date of receipt of representation(s) in accordance with law in objective manner. Till decision on the representation is communicated to the respective petitioners, the impugned transfer orders issued under Teacher Rationalization Instructions, so far as the petitioners are concerned, be kept in abeyance. 6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the present writ petitions stand disposed of. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Aadil
