The Secretary v. The State of Tamil Nadu

ORDER The present writ petition has been filed for a Writ of Certiorari, calling for the records relating to the impugned proceedings of the third respondent CEO in Na.Ka.No.00835/A4/2023, dated 05.06.2023, deploying V.George, B.T Assistant (Science) from the petitioner School to Government High School, Elappavilai.

¶2By consent of both parties, this Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself.

¶3The petitioner School is a Private aided School. On 05.06.2023, the Chief Educational Officer issued deployment orders deploying 8 teachers from the petitioner's School to various Government Schools. At present, the School has only one B.T Assistant (Science), wherein one Mr.V.George is serving. Hence, among the eight deployment orders, the petitioner's School is inclined to challenge the deployment of the B.T Assistant (Science) Teacher, which is a Single B.T Assistant (Science) Teacher Post.

¶4Considering the limited prayer sought for by the petitioner in this case, this Court is inclined to quash the impugned order of deployment as far as the B.T Assistant (Science) post alone and thereafter, remand back the same to the third respondent for reconsideration and the petitioner is thereafter, directed to make a fresh representation. On the basis of which, the third respondent can take appropriate decision in accordance with law, within a period of twelve

(12) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶5With the above said observation, this writ petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions stand closed.
