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 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. Wps 5398 of 2025 and connected cases 3 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. It is further submitted that if the petitioners are having any grievance, they may move fresh representation before the concerned District/Divisional Rationalization Committee, and the Committee will take a decision on their representations 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 representations before the concerned District/Divisional Rationalization Committee within a period of five days from today, and thereafter, the Committee shall decide the same within a further period of five days from the date of receipt of representations in accordance with law in objective manner. 6.
