J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an Arabic teacher in a Government school. She requested for a transfer to Government Moyan Model Girls Higher Secondary School, Palakkad where, according to the petitioner, there is a vacancy of Arabic Teacher from the academic year 2008-2009 onwards. The petitioner would contend that in that school, there are 125 Arabic students in U.P. School and they are without an Arabic teacher. At the same time, the petitioner's services are underutilized for teaching 40 L.P. Students in GUPS, Puthur. The petitioner's request for transfer to the above school was rejected on the ground that as per G.O(P) No. 317/95, there is a ban on filling up posts. The petitioner points out that that ban has been lifted by G.O(P) 10/10 dated 12-1-2010. According to the petitioner, consequently, there cannot be any difficulty for giving the petitioner a transfer to GMMGHSS, Palakkad as requested by the petitioner. However, the petitioner's request is not being considered by the respondents is the grievance in this writ petition. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the petitioner's request for transfer would also be considered at the time of general transfer this year. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
