    The Calcutta High Court set aside the school's rejection of petitioner Sajal Kumar Mukherjee's transfer application, holding that being the sole teacher in a subject cannot be the sole ground for refusing transfer under Notification No. 9-SE dated 03.01.2022. The court directed the school to issue a No Objection Certificate by 10.04.2026 and instructed the West Bengal Central School Service Commission to expeditiously process the transfer application by 15.05.2026 if the petitioner is otherwise eligible.
