WP(C) 1758/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANIMA HAZARIKA (ORAL) Heard Mr. MAI Hussain, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. J Abedin, learned Standing Counsel, Education Department appearing for the respondents. Challenge made in this writ petition is to the order dated 5.2.2011 whereby and whereunder, the District Elementary Education Officer (’DEEO’ for short), Cachar , Silchar (respondent No.3 herein) has directed withdrawal of attachment of teac hers in other schools, i.e. not the schools where they were originally appointed as the attachment order so passed has created problem for imparting education i n the schools where they were originally appointed. Because of the attachment of teachers in other schools, the students are suffering mostly. Therefore, the im pugned order dated 5.2.2011 came to be passed by the authority directing the att ached teachers, who are working as Assistant teachers, Hindi teachers, Science t eachers and Headmaster i/c to handover charge to the senior most genuine teacher s, further making it clear that the physically disable teachers, teachers on gen uine ground who have attached in other schools shall report directly to the DEEO mentioning reasons of their willingness to be attached in the schools. It has been brought to the notice of this Court that in a similar situation, thi s Court vide order dated 26.8.2011 passed in WP(C) No.4337/2011 directed the DEE O to dispose of the representation and to allow to continue the services of the petitioners till disposal of the representations. The present petitioners also h ave prayed for a similar order being similarly situated teachers. I have perused the impugned order dated 5.2.2011. In terms of the said order, th ose teachers, who have genuine problem may apply to remain attached to the respe ctive schools. The petitioners, therefore, submitted representations before the DEEO, which, however, according to the petitioners have not been disposed of as yet. The petitioners have as indicated hereinabove apprehended that they may be transferred, while their representations aforementioned may still remain pending and they may not be paid their salary. Considering the fact that the petitioners have already made representations seek ing to be kept attached to their respective schools, where they are presently wo rking, and this opportunity has been provided by the respondent No.3 to the peti tioners by his own order, dated 5.2.2011, it is logical to infer that no transfe r order of the petitioners could be made without first dealing with and disposin g of the representations of the petitioners. Considering, therefore, the matter in its entirety and in the interest of justic e, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.3, th e District Elementary Education Officer, Cachar, Silchar to examine the represen tations of the petitioners in the light of the relevant Government policy and to take a decision in the matter in accordance with law. The whole exercise, so directed, shall be completed within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by the respondent No.3. The petitioners shall furnish to the respondent No.3 a certified copy of this or der alongwith a copy of the writ petition and annexures appended thereto and a f resh representation, if so advised. Whatever decision is reached by respondent N o.3, the same shall be communicated, in writing, to the petitioners. Until the time the representations, as indicated hereinabove, are disposed of, s tatus quo in respect of the present posting of the petitioners shall not be dist urbed and the payment of their salary and allowances shall not be stopped. With the above observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed o f. No costs. Furnish a copy of this order to the learned Standing Counsel, Education Departme nt immediately.
