Petitioner's complaint in this writ petition is that although the order was passed on 31.7.2007, the same has not yet been implemented by relieving her from the present station. The learned Government Pleader submits that the petitioner could not be relieved only because there is no other Economics Teacher in the school and the petitioner is also holding the charge of Principal and that as soon as PSC hand joins duty, the petitioner would be relieved from the present station to enable the petitioner to take charge in the new station as per Ext.P2. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no earnest effort on the part of the respondents to take appropriate steps to see that a qualified person joins duty in the present station to relieve the petitioner, expeditiously. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with following directions. The petitioner shall be relieved from W.P.(C).No.32596/2007 :2: duty for joining at the place of transfer as per Ext.P2 immediately on a PSC hand joins duty at the present station. The second respondent shall see that a proper person joins duty in the place of the petitioner within the shortest possible time. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE dvs
