SHRI.A.J.VARGHESE, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 35445 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of December, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are LPSAs in the Government Lower Primary School, Fairfield in Idukki District. They have been transferred by Exts.P3 and P4 to different schools. These orders itself show that such transfer was necessitated on account of the fact that there was difference of opinion and disharmony between the teachers and the Headmaster in the School. If as stated in Exts.P3 and P4, that was the atmosphere prevailing in the School, the authorities cannot be faulted for the steps that they have taken to transfer all the teachers to different schools to restore normalcy in the school. The learned Government Pleader also submits that the Headmaster has also been transferred and relieved on 01/12/2008. 2. In my view, if such a remedial action has been taken by the authorities, this Court shall not sit in judgment of the same and upset such order. The writ petition fails and is, accordingly, dismissed.
