The above writ petitions relate to transfer of Teachers under the Karnataka Civil Services (Regulations of Transfer of Teaching Staff of Department of Collegiate Education) Rules 2021 (for short ‘Transfer Rules 2021’). In Application Nos.5173-5201/2024 and connected applications, the Tribunal passed the following directions: “i) The applications are disposed of. ii) The respondent authorities have to prepare vacancy list based on the Zone-wise and allow the above applicants herein to choose their place of choice except Zone-E as per the conditions stipulated in Rule 4 and hold counseling to them as per Rules 4, 5, 6 & 7 of the Karnataka Civil Services (Regulation of transfer of Teaching Staff of Department of Collegiate Education) Rules 2021. - 48 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24706-DB WP No. 19421 of 2025 C/W WP No. 18771 of 2025 WP No. 19823 of 2025 AND 1 OTHER iii) Application Nos.5002, 5003, 5005, 5011, 5017, 5022, 5024, 5033, 5042, 5043, 5046, 5053, 5054 & 5055/2024, in respect of Applicant Nos.5, 6, 8, 14, 20, 25, 27, 36, 45, 46, 49, 56, 57 & 58, are dismissed in view of accepting the transfer order. iv) The respondents in order to create vacancies in Zone-E to accommodate place of working.

Learned AAG would submit that the applicants i.e., petitioners in other batch of writ petitions are Teachers, who were transferred and given posting during November’2024 and their transfer was necessitated because of posting to be given to new recruitees under Zone – E under Rule-9 of Transfer Rules’2021. 6. Learned Senior Counsel Smt.Lakshmy Iyenger, submits that only to provide posting to new recruitees, the petitioners without affording an opportunity to choose posts in Group A, B and C, compelling them to choose - 50 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24706-DB WP No. 19421 of 2025 C/W WP No. 18771 of 2025 WP No. 19823 of 2025 AND 1 OTHER posts available under Zone–D effected transfers. Therefore, the learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioners i.e., Assistant Professors submit that they be provided an opportunity to participate in the counseling process to effect transfers that is being held in 2025 General Transfers. 7. Learned AAG, as well as the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners i.e., Assistant Professors have filed memos. Memo filed by the State Government dated 07.07.2025, reads as follows: “MEMO FILED ON BEHALF OF THE STATE - (PETITIONERS IN W.P.NO.18771/2025 & RESPONDENTS IN W.P.NO.19421/2025) 1. It is submitted that in respect of the petitioners in W.P.No.19421/2025 and other similarly situated persons [i.e., those who have accepted and reported to the transferred post during the special counseling under Rule 9 of the Transfer Rules of 2021 conducted in the month of November 2024 in order to accommodate posting of newly recruited Assistant Professors on initial appointment), for the purpose of calculation of minimum length of service at the place - 51 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24706-DB WP No. 19421 of 2025 C/W WP No. 18771 of 2025 WP No. 19823 of 2025 AND 1 OTHER of present regular posting in terms of Rule 4(1), the length of service in the present posting (i.e., Special Transfer Counseling Posting) and the previous posting prior to being disturbed during the special transfer counseling during November 2024, will be reckoned for the purpose of computing the length of service while preparing the priority list in terms of Rule 5 for the purpose of the 2025 General Transfers of Assistant Professors of Government first grade colleges under the Department of Collegiate Education, as a onetime measure and same will be limited to the upper limit of 09 percent as prescribed in transfer rules. 2. In view of the stand expressed in point 01, those teachers who had come under special transfer and would also qualify under 09 percent as per rule 4(3) of transfer rules would be given an option to either appear in counseling as per their seniority under 2025 general transfers or to continue in their place of posting opted during special transfer counseling. Only those who exercise the option to participate in 2025 general transfer would be considered for counseling conducted for effecting transfer in public interest. 3. The reckoning of service rendered prior to special transfer cannot be claimed by the teachers who opt out of the counseling option as explained in point - 52 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24706-DB WP No. 19421 of 2025 C/W WP No. 18771 of 2025 WP No. 19823 of 2025 AND 1 OTHER no.2 or by any other teachers who were transferred under special counseling but did not come under 9 percent as earmarked under public interest 2025 transfers. 4. Wherefore, in view of the aforesaid one time concession/stand of the State Government, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to allow W.P.No.18771/2025 and consequently set- aside the common Order dated: 26-03-2025 in A.Nos.5173-5201/2024 c/w A.Nos.4998-5055/2024 (except Order in respect of A. Nos.5002, 5003, 5005, 5011, 5017, 5022, 5024, 5033, 5042, 5043, 5046, 5053, 5054 & 5055/2024), in the interest of justice and equity.” 8. The sum and substance of the memo filed by the petitioners / Assistant Professors would state that they are agreeable to participate in the counseling for transfer in ‘General Transfer Of 2025’. However, learned Senior Counsel Smt.Lakshmy Iyenger, as well as learned counsel Sri.K.B.Muralidhar apprehended that in case the petitioners do not fall under the 9% transfers permissible, they have to remain in the present posting and to get transfer they have to wait for another four years. - 53 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24706-DB WP No. 19421 of 2025 C/W WP No. 18771 of 2025 WP No. 19823 of 2025 AND 1 OTHER Therefore, they prayed that if they do not fall under the 9% transfer in the present counseling, they shall be permitted to participate in the next year ‘General Transfers Counseling’ counting the services rendered by them in the earlier posting prior to the present posting, which according to us appears to be reasonable. 9. In the light of the above submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and taking note of the memo filed by the State Government, we pass the following: ORDER i) The petitioners and similarly situated Assistant Professors shall be permitted to participate in the ‘Counseling of 2025 General Transfers’ under Rule-4 of Transfer Rules’2021. While calculating minimum tenure in the present place of posting, their tenure in the earlier posting shall also be counted. ii) If the petitioners and similarly situated Assistant Professors fail to fall within 9% of prescribed - 54 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:24706-DB WP No. 19421 of 2025 C/W WP No. 18771 of 2025 WP No. 19823 of 2025 AND 1 OTHER transfers, they shall be permitted to participate in ‘General Transfer Counseling Of 2026’ also by counting their tenure in the previous posts, till they get one transfer. iii) In view of the above observations, the challenge of the State Government insofar as direction Nos.2, 4 and 5 in Application Nos.5173 to 5201 C/W. 4998 to 5055/2024 passed by the Karnataka State Administrative Tribunal, Bengaluru, impugned in Writ Petition No.18771/2025, stands modified to the above extent. iv) With the above observations, all the writ petitions stand disposed off.
