Vide order dated 21.11.2025 (Annexure P-1), petitioner is relieved considering the letter dated 24.6.2025 written by the Joint Director to all the District Education Officers of Raipur Division for cancelling all the orders of attachment. He submits that cancellation of the order of attachment of petitioner is per se bad and illegal. 3. Learned State Counsel submits that considering the order passed in several writ petitions filed by employees against their attachment and also considering the requirement of teachers in schools, the State Government has formulated scheme of rationalization and accordingly, order was passed cancelling the order of attachment of all teachers who are working under the order of attachment. Pursuant to letter issued by the Joint Director dated 26.4.2025, the District Education Officer has passed the order of relieving the petitioner on 21.11.2025. Hence, there is no error. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused documents annexed along with writ petition. 5.
