For State/Respondents : Mr. Suyash Dhar, Deputy Govt. Advocate. Hon'ble Shri Justice Ravindra Kumar Agrawal Order on Board 23-06-2025 1. By way of this writ petition, the petitioners are challenging the impugned transfer orders and action of the respondents whereby the petitioners have been declared surplus Teacher and consequently transferred under the Teacher Rationalization Instructions. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that list of surplus Teachers Digitally signed by MOHAMMAD AADIL KHAN 2 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 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 records the petitioners have been transferred under the rationalization instructions issued by the State Government. He 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(s) 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. 6. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the present writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Aadil
