(Puducherry) ORDER (Order of the Court was made by the Hon'ble Chief Justice) It is well settled that no public interest litigation is maintainable in service matters. The relief of repatriation of teachers may be an individual grievance and any teacher, who is aggrieved by the deputation, could challenge it. We fail to understand how the petitioner could maintain such a grievance through public interest litigation. ______________ https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.29694 of 2024 Writ petition is misconceived and is, therefore, dismissed.
