IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9 of 2009 RAM UMED MISHRA & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 19.5.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The submission is that under the statutory rules framed by the respondents, there is a scheme for inviting option for transfer by teachers like the petitioners. Once they have exercised their option, the respondents are required to consider the same in accordance with law. The petitioners cannot be faulted with if the respondents did not make arrangement for alternative teachers to deny the option to the petitioners on the plea that if they are transferred there will not be sufficient teacher left in the school where they are teaching. Issues of transfer are administrative matters. The availability of teachers are also administrative matters. To that extent, this Court finds no merit in this application and decline not to grant any positive relief to the petitioners. The Court only accepts that if teachers are lesser in number, at least the State will take adequate steps to fill up vacancy so that dissemination of education is not hampered. The application stands disposed off. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
