(Oral) The petitioner is aggrieved by Annexure P-2, order of transfer. According to the petitioner, in view of the peculiar facts and circumstances of the petitioner, request of the petitioner for accommodating the petitioner in the open vacancy available at Government Senior Secondary School, Rakkar, Tehsil Dehra, District Kangra should have been considered. 2. Having heard the learned Deputy Advocate General also, we are of the view that in case there is an open vacancy available, as pointed out by the petitioner, as above, there is no justification in not considering the case of the petitioner for adjusting the petitioner in that vacancy since the petitioner is shifted from the School, so as to retain a PTA as 2 per the direction issued by this Court. Therefore, there will be a direction to the second respondent to preferentially consider the petitioner for accommodation in the open vacancy at Government Senior Secondary School, Rakkar. The needful, as above, shall be done within 10 days from the date of the production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioner along with a copy of the writ petitin. 3. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. Dasti copy. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 15th December, 2010 (Justice V.K. Ahuja), (tr) Judge. 3
