THESE PETITIONS COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN ‘B’ GROUP THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: ORAL ORDER (PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) 1. The petitioners in each of the above matters are before this Court seeking for the following reliefs: - 13 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:3945 WP No. 104938 of 2023 C/W WP No. 102824 of 2021 WP No. 103730 of 2022 IN WP NO.104938/2023 1.

The dispute arose between the parties mainly on account of lack of confidence and miscommunication between the teachers and the management of the school. 3. Though several allegations were made by each other against each other, when the matter was taken up for consideration, on enquiry as to whether the matter could be amicably resolved, both the counsel submitted that they will endeavour to try and resolve the matter. Both the counsel upon instructions, thereafter submitted that both of them are willing to withdraw the allegations made against each other. However, a submission was made by the teachers that, there being lack of confidence, they would wish to be transferred to any other school admitted to grant-in-aid. Learned counsel for the school management also acceded to the said request. 4. The affidavits of the petitioners filed in regard to the above are taken on record. - 15 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:3945 WP No. 104938 of 2023 C/W WP No. 102824 of 2021 WP No. 103730 of 2022 5. In that view of the matter, learned AGA was directed to secure instructions if there are any vacancies available within the said Taluk, in any other schools admitted to grant-in-aid, wherein the teachers could be transferred. 6. Learned AGA upon instructions, today submits that, there are 50 vacancies in different schools in the primary and high school level in Mudhol Taluk. He submits that, taking into consideration the convenience of the teachers and taking into account their preferences, 15 of the teachers, who are before this Court in the above matters, would be transferred to the respective schools of their choice. 7. Learned counsel for the Management submits that, since the exams are now scheduled from the 10.03.2025, until the recruitment is completed, the teachers would have to continue to render their services in the school and thereafter they could be transferred, and in this regard he submits that the - 16 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:3945 WP No. 104938 of 2023 C/W WP No. 102824 of 2021 WP No. 103730 of 2022 recruitment of new teachers would take about 3 months time to be completed. 8. In that view of the matter, the above being amicable resolution which has been arrived at between the parties, I am of the considered opinion that, passing of necessary directions in that regard would resolve the matter. Hence, I pass the following: ORDER i. W.P.No.102824/2021 and W.P.No.103730/2022 are dismissed as withdrawn. ii. W.P.N.104938/2023 is allowed.

Upon completion of the tenure on 31.05.2025, respondent No.3 is directed to transfer the above petitioners to the respective schools. vi. The submission of learned counsel for the Management that a proposal for fresh recruitment would be submitted to the second respondent by 07.03.2025 is placed on record. If the said representation is received by the second respondent by that time, the second respondent is directed to process the same and afford necessary approval in relation thereto within 15 days from - 18 - NC: 2025:KHC-D:3945 WP No. 104938 of 2023 C/W WP No. 102824 of 2021 WP No. 103730 of 2022 the date or receipt or by 21.03.2025, whichever is later. vii.

The respondent Management is directed to upload necessary Service Registers with the correct details with appropriate increments and the like in respect of each of the above petitioners on or before 30.04.2025.
