¶1Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Standing counsel appearing for the Respondents No.1 and 2 as well as Shri Sunil Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the Respondents No. 3 and 4.

¶2Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that she was working as Part Time Instructor since year 2013 in Uppar Primary School, Dayalpur, Block Narayanpur, District Mirzapur. Though the term of the petitioner as Part Time Instructor has been renewed for the year 2023-24 but she has been transferred from Composite Vidyalaya, Muhammadpur to Uppar Prathmik Vidyalaya, Rajgarh, District Mirzapur which is at about 70 km. from the place of the petitioner.

¶3Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is a low paid employee and is being paid only Rs. 7,000/- and therefore, it is very hard for her to manage affairs of her family as she has to go at the distance of 70 km. to attend her duty and thereafter she has to come back.

¶4Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has also argued that remuneration paid to the petitioner is too low to arrange an alternate residence at the place of her new posting. It has been brought to the notice of this court that petitioner, for ventilating her grievance, has already submitted a representation to the District Basic Education Officer, Mirzapur, whereby she has requested that she may be accommodated in the schools in the same Block in which petitioner was earlier working.

¶5Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has argued that till date petitioner's representation has not been decided.

¶6On the other hand, learned Standing Counsel as well as Mr. Sunil Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the Respondents No. 3 and 4 has submitted that the grievance of the petitioner can very well be looked into by the District Basic Education Officer, Mirzapur.

¶7In view of the aforesaid submissions advanced by the learned counsels appearing for the parties, without entering into the merits of the case, this writ petition is finally disposed of with a direction to the District Basic Education Officer, Mirzapur to consider and decide the petitioner's representation dated 08.06.2023 contained in Annexure No. 7 to the writ petition by passing speaking and reasoned order within one month from the date of service of certified copy of this order.
