    The court allowed the assistant teacher's petition, ruling that being a single teacher in a subject cannot be valid grounds for rejecting a transfer application. The court directed school authorities to reconsider the petitioner's 2022 transfer application (to be resubmitted by May 30, 2026) and process it within stipulated timelines, with the SSC to complete final action within four weeks, while permitting offline processing despite portal suspension.
