The petitioner is working in respondent No.3 school as a Secondary Grade Teacher. The Single Teacher post in the said school was an aided one till 1999. The said post was transferred to respondent No.4 school in the said year. Since then, there had been efforts made to see that the aided post was re-transferred to respondent No.3 school. On the representation made by the General Secretary of Andhra Pradesh Teachers Federation, Hyderabad (APTF), respondent No.1 issued proceedings, dated 09.12.2005 wherein while enclosing a copy of representation, dated 16.10.2005 made by the General Secretary, APTF, respondent No.1 directed respondent No.2 to examine the request for re-transferring the aided post to respondent No.3 school and take necessary action duly following the instructions issued regarding rationalization of the surplus teachers duly taking into account the eligibility, strength and workload of the school. The grievance of the petitioner is that though more than three years elapsed since the date of the issue of the said proceedings, respondent No.2 has not taken any follow-up action. As the grievance of the petitioner is innocuous, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage after hearing the learned Assistant Government Pleader for School Education with the direction to respondent No.2 to consider and pass appropriate order on the above- mentioned proceedings of respondent No.1 regarding re-transfer of aided post to respondent No.3, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Respondent No.2 shall communicate the order to the petitioner. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.36931 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 26th DECEMBER, 2008. kvni
