WP(C) 4112/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE I. A. ANSARI Heard Mr. R. P. Kakati, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners, an d Mr. A. D. Choudhury, learned Standing Counsel, Education Department, appearing on behalf of the respondents. By order, dated 05.02.2011, respondent No.3, namely, District Elementary Educat ion Officer, Cachar, Silchar, has directed withdrawal of attachment of teachers, who are working in the offices so that their services, as teachers, could be av ailable to the schools. Apprehending that with the help of the order, dated 05.0 2.2011, the petitioners too, may also be transferred, though they are attached t o the schools and not to the establishments, such as the establishment of the D istrict Elementary Education Officer etc., the petitioners have filed representa tions pursuant to the option, which has been granted by the order, dated 05.02.2 011 (Annexure-4 to the writ petition) issued by the respondent No.3, namely, Dis trict Elementary Education Officer, Cachar, Silchar; to the effect that those te achers, who have genuine problem may apply to remain attached to the respective establishments. Representations, so made, by the petitioners have not, according to the petitioners, been disposed of as yet. The petitioners have, as indicated hereinbefore, apprehend that they may be transferred, while their representatio ns 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 05.02.2011, it is logical to infer that no trans fer order of the petitioners could be made without, first, dealing with, and dis posing 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 direction to the respondent No.3, name ly, District Elementary Education Officer, Cachar, Silchar, to examine the repre sentations 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 rece ipt of a copy of this order by the respondent No.3, namely, District Elementary Education Officer, Cachar, Silchar. The petitioners may furnish to the responden t No.3, namely, District Elementary Education Officer, Cachar, Silchar, a certif ied copy of this order along with a copy of the writ petition and annexures ther eto.

If the petiti oners feel aggrieved by the decision(s), which may be reached, or the order(s), which may be passed by the respondent No.3, the petitioners shall remain at libe rty to take recourse to such provisions of law as may be permissible. Until the time the representations, as indicted hereinbefore, are disposed of, n o transfer order, in respect of the persons, whose representations remain pendin g, shall be made and till such date, when their transfer order is not made, the payment of their salary and allowances shall not be stopped.
