Orders
The Calcutta High Court disposed of Assistant Teacher Soma Pal's writ petition challenging rejection of his 2021 transfer application from Naisarai High School on distance grounds. The court found the school's rejection prima facie faulty as it relied on the "single teacher issue," which contradicts court precedent establishing this ground as invalid under a January 3, 2022 notification. The court directed Pal to file a fresh transfer application by June 30, 2026, which school authorities must approve with a No Objection Certificate forwarded to the District Inspector by July 15, 2026, irrespective of local arrangements. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
