The Chief Executive Officer & ors.) Appeal District : Application No. of 200 Writ petition Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. Mr. R.S. Naktode, Adv. for the petitioner. Mr. M.A. Bapat, Adv. for R- 1. CORAM :D.D. SINHA & SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, JJ. DATED : FEBRUARY 20, 2008. Heard the learned counsel for parties. The writ petition is directed against the order of transfer dated 6/8/2007 passed by the Block Development Officer, Panchayat Samiti, Chamorshi, whereby the petitioner who is a Primary Teacher, was transferred from the School run by Panchayat Samiti, Aashti to another School run by another Panchayat Samiti at Kunghada. The counsel for the petitioner submitted that the impugned transfer order was issued 2 by the Block Development Officer within two months of the petitioner's joining at Aashti. It is further contended that this Court had issued a notice before admission on 10/9/2007 and also granted ad interim relief in terms of prayer clause (iii) and by virtue of the said ad interim order, the petitioner continued to be at Aashti. The counsel for the petitioner prayed that since there are only few months left for completion of the academic session, the petitioner may be continued at Aashti till this academic session and the respondents shall be free to give effect to the order of transfer after the present academic session. Mr. Bapat, the learned counsel for the respondents, seeks time to file reply in order to demonstrate that the impugned order was issued in view of administrative exigency. Be that as it may. Since the petitioner, by virtue of the interim order, continued at village Aashti almost for the major portion of the 3 academic session, and the academic session is likely to over within a couple of months, in this peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, we feel it appropriate to continue our interim order till the end of the present academic session and the respondents shall be free to give effect to the impugned order of transfer dated 6/11/2007 after 31/5/2008 or issue fresh order transferring the petitioner at any other place according to the administrative exigency. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE RMP
