Orders
Summary The Bombay High Court dismissed a writ petition by teachers challenging their transfer postings under Maharashtra's couple convenience transfer policy (Government Resolution Clause 1.9). The court held that while the policy aims to post couples within 30 km proximity, such accommodation depends on feasibility considering subject-wise, language-wise, and seniority constraints, and the automated Teacher Transfer Management System's limitations. The court directed petitioners to file fresh applications for the 2026-2027 academic year with specific timelines, while instructing authorities to reconsider cases where spousal distance exceeds 30 km or couples are already residing together. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
