The indisputable facts in nutsheil are that ths pet'itionerwas the only iady teacher working in t'ne Governmem Coilege at Dhamtari, v/hich is a Girls Coiiege, exciusively meant for wornen. Learned counse! appearing for the t^ ^etifsoner submst that ati the teachers working in the said Coiiege are maie teachers and the petitioner «vasthe only Sady teac'ner in the said Cotlege. The petitioner has been transferred due to administrative reasons. 3. T'ne respondents No. 1, 2 and 5 In its return dated 15.6.2006 does not controvert the averment made by t'ne petitioner that she was the oniy !ady teacher in the Government Glris Cojlegs, but tt is strongiy denied that oniy femals staff can be posted in a Giris Coiiege. !t is not the case of the petitioner e'ther. 4.
