HON'BLE JUSTICE REETOBROTO KUMAR MITRA

Summary: The Calcutta High Court disposed of the writ petition filed by Suvanwita Sinha, an Assistant Teacher in Political Science, directing school authorities to decide her pending transfer application (filed February 2026) based on distance grounds by June 30, 2026, without rejecting it on grounds that she is the sole teacher in her subject—a matter already settled by prior court decisions. The Court mandated that if approved, the transfer documentation be forwarded to the appropriate authority within two weeks, and clarified that portal suspension would not impede offline consideration of the application. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
