HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE REKHA BORANA
Order
27/04/2022
The present writ petitions have been filed with a prayer for
quashing of the list issued on 16.06.2018 qua the petitioners.
Learned counsel for the respondents states that the
controversy involved in the present matters has been decided in
S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.9282/2019 : Babu Lal Puniya v.
State of Rajasthan & Ors. In Babu Lal Puniya case (supra), it
had been held as under:
"From the above operational guidelines, it is apparent that it is only the DEO (Hqrs), Secondary Education, who has the jurisdiction to pass the orders for transfer of the petitioners from Primary Education to Secondary Education and accord postings being their appointing authority and, therefore, entire petition based on the submission regarding lack of jurisdiction, has no substance.
Consequently, the writ petitions filed by the petitioners are dismissed leaving it open for them to approach the Rajasthan Civil Services Appellate Tribunal, in case they have any
(4 of 5) [CW-9905/2018]
grievance qua the issues other the authority of the DEO (Hqrs), Secondary Education."
Learned counsel for the petitioners does not refute the above
position but they make a specific submission that the compliance
of Rule 6D of the Rules of 1971 has not been made in the present
matter and the respondents be directed to make the compliance of
the same.
Learned counsel for the petitioners has relied upon the
judgment passed in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 16671/2015:
Surendra Kumar Bhatt & Ors. v. State of Rajasthan & Ors.
In Surendra Kumar Bhatt's case (supra), the following
observation had been made by the Court:
"Accordingly, while not interfering in the impugned order for the reasons given above, the writ petitions are disposed of with the direction to the respondents to look into the seniority of all teachers, so transferred. If any senior teacher is left out and at the same time, junior teacher has been transferred, then they are directed to correct the order within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
It is made clear that compliance of the directions given by this Court would be made in strict terms and while revising the list, if so required. It would be in strict adherence to the provisions of Rule 6D of the Rules of 1971 and in future also, similar exercise would not be taken in violation of the said rule, otherwise the Department is directed to fix the responsibility of the officer concerned so that litigation may not come on account of violation of Rule 6D of the Rules of 1971."
(5 of 5) [CW-9905/2018]
In view of the ratio as laid down in Babu Lal Puniya's case
(supra), while making the interim orders passed in the writ
petitions absolute, the present writ petitions are disposed of.
The respondents would be at liberty to pass fresh transfer
orders in light of the subsequent judgments. It is made clear that
the adherence to the provisions of Rule 6C of the Rajasthan
Education State and Subordinate Services Rules, 2021 (akin to
Rule 6D of the Rules of 1971) would be strictly made as laid down
in the case of Surendra Kumar Bhatt.
All pending applications also stand disposed of.
