    The High Court at Calcutta directed the District Primary School Council, Malda to consider Gour Haldar's representation seeking intra-district transfer on distance grounds (his residence being 102 km from his posting at Dhanipara Primary School) and dispose of it by passing a reasoned order within eight weeks. The court remitted the matter to the appropriate authority for due consideration rather than deciding the transfer request directly, with the reasoned order to be communicated to the petitioner within one week of passing.
