WPSS No.1773 of 2011 Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Shri Kishore Kumar, Advocate holding brief of Shri M.C. Pant, learned counsel for the petitioner. Shri Anil Bisht, learned Brief Holder for the State/respondents. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner, who is working as Assistant Teacher in Government Higher Secondary School Bangshil, Jaunpur Tehri Garhwal, was transferred/adjusted to Government Higher Secondary School Majepur, Jaunpur Tehri Garhwal vide order dated 09.06.2010, issued by the District Education Officer, Tehri Garhwal. Again on 18.10.2011, the Block Education Officer Jaunpur, Tehri Garhwal passed an order adjusting the petitioner at Government Higher Secondary School Kimoi. In pursuance of the said adjustment order, the petitioner joined at Government Higher Secondary School Kimoi on 20.10.2011. Thereafter, again on 19.11.2011, the Block Education Officer Jaunpur, Tehri Garhwal passed an order by which earlier adjustment/transfer order of the petitioner was cancelled. The submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the action of the Block Education Officer Jaunpur, Tehri Garhwal, by cancelling his earlier order dated 18.10.2011, is arbitrary, as within a month, petitioner has been asked to go back at the place from where she has been transferred earlier. He further submitted that at present, seventeen students are studying at Higher Secondary School Kimoi and in case petitioner is compelled to go back to Government Higher Secondary School Majepur, the studies of the students will be adversely affected. He also submitted that only three-four months have remained for the session and it is not proper on the part of the Block Education Officer Jaunpur, Tehri Garhwal, to transfer back the petitioner in the mid session, therefore, the transfer/adjustment order dated 19.11.2011 deserves to be set aside. On the previous occasion, the learned Standing Counsel for the State/ respondents was asked to seek instructions in the matter. Today Shri Anil Bisht, learned Brief Holder for the State/ respondents submitted that though the Block Education Officer alone is competent to adjust the teacher within block, but before doing so, he is required to obtain approval from the District Education Officer. He submitted that in the present case Block Education Officer, Jaunpur, Tehri Garhwal passed an order on 18.10.2011 transferring the petitioner from Government Higher Secondary School, Majepur to Government Higher Secondary School, Kimoi, which is beyond his jurisdiction and is illegal. He further submitted that when this fact came to the knowledge of the District Education Officer, Tehri Garhwal, he sought explanation from the concerned Block Education Officer and therefore, the Block Education Officer, Jaunpur, Tehri Garhwal passed the order of cancellation on 19.11.2011. In view of the statement of the learned Brief Holder for the State/ respondents that the order dated 18.10.2011 passed by the Block Education Officer, Jaunpur, Tehri Garhwal was without approval of the District Education Officer, Tehri Garhwal, this Writ Petition deserves to be dismissed and is dismissed. Stay application (CLMA No.12914 of 2011) also stands disposed of. (V.K. Bist, J.) Arpan 19.12.2011
