These petitions raise common question and therefore these petitions can be decided by this common judgment. 2. For the sake of brevity, we shall refer to the facts as are apparent in Writ Petition No.1240/1994. The petitioner had been appointed as a primary teacher in the respondent no.3 Zilla Parishad Insitute. It appears that on her request, she came to be transferred to the school situated in Jalgaon, near Pimprala. By virtue of the impugned order in the present petition, the petitioner is sought to be transferred by respondents no.1 to 3 to Shirsoli. Similar facts are to be found in the other petitions where the petitioners are being sought to be transferred. In all these petitions, an order of interim relief has been operating with the result that the orders of transfer have been stayed. This order of stay has been operating for last 15 years. In any event, the orders of transfer by the very nature of the fact that they have been stayed for 15 years are rendered infructuous. In the light of that, no interference is called for by this Court in its extra ordinary jurisdiction. These petitions are accordingly dismissed. Rule discharged with no order as to costs.
