Teachers can apply for transfer counselling: HC

MADURAI, JULY 07, 2019 00:00 IST

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court allowed a batch of petitions filed by teachers who sought permission to attend the general transfer counselling scheduled for July 8.

Justice D. Krishnakumar allowed the petitioners to apply for the general transfer counselling. The petitioners challenged the government order issued in 2019 that imposed a precondition of completion of three years in the current working place, to participate in the counselling.

The petitioners complained they joined service in 2018 and because of the precondition, they would be deprived of a chance to attend the counselling. They sought exemption under clause 4 and 5 of a G.O. issued in 2017 that granted one year period of exemption for certain special categories. Special Government Pleader S. Srimathy submitted that the government order of 2019 issued by the School Education Department was in the interest of students. Once the candidates completed three years, they can opt for a transfer, she said.

The court took cognisance of the fact that the petitioners came under the special categories and allowed them to apply for the counselling.
