HC sets aside transfer policy for junior teachers
Hindustan TimesGiving relief to thousands of junior teachers of primary schools of the state government, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court on Thursday set aside the transfer policy for teachers of the basic education department, terming it as “arbitrary and discriminatory.” Justice Manish Mathur passed the order on Thursday on a writ petition of Pushkar Singh Chandel and others. The state government had enforced the policy on June 26 through a government order to maintain the teacher-pupil ratio in primary schools of the basic education department. Cancelling the department’s “last come first out” transfer policy, the court quashed relevant provisions of the state government’s order of June 26, 2024 and the basic education department’s circular of June 28, 2024. The petitioners had challenged clauses 3, 7, 8 and 9 of the June 26 government order and subsequent June 28 circular of the Basic Education Department, pleading that the said provisions are contrary to the fundamental right to equality as well as the Right to Education Act.
