It is stated that the Petitioner had worked at various places. While so, Go.R.T.No.82, dated 23.05.2023 was issued by the Government of School Education framing certain guidelines for transfer of the employees. The Petitioner had opted Government Junior College for Girls, Kadapa, as a first preference. Government Junior College, Proddutur, as a second preference and Government Junior College, Pendlimarri as a third preference. Even though a clear vacancy is available at Junior College for Girls at Kadapa, the Petitioner was posted at Government Junior College, Proddutur, i.e., the second preference of the Petitioner. 3 As the Petitioner was given second preference of posting, a representation dated 25.07.2023 was given by the Petitioner to post him at the Junior College for girls, Kadapa, as he underwent Neuro Surgery and also suffering with backbone problem.
