T.Venugopal, s/o. Sattaiah, Employee Id/Treasury Id:1838437, Aged 39 years, occu: Secondary Grade Teacher, T/M, Old Working place: MPPS Kamalapur(T), Mandal: Shankarampet-R, District Medak, State of Telangana and others. .... Petitioners and State of Telangana, rep.by its Chief Secretary, (G.A.D.), Telangana Secretariat, Hyderabad and others.

.... Respondents This court made the following :

WRIT PETITION NO.20550 OF 2018 ORDER :

Petitioners participated in the transfer counselling held in the year 2013 and were transferred to various places in erstwhile Medak district. According to petitioners, though the orders of transfers were issued in various dates in the year 2013, they were not immediately relieved and they were relieved in the year 2015. Pursuant to the relaxation of ban, Government notified Telangana Teachers (Regulation of Transfers) Rules, 2018 (for short 'the Rules, 2018'). Rule-6 of the Rules, 2018 deals with entitlement points which are the basis to determine the place of choice for transfer.

2.

According to learned counsel for the petitioners, though the petitioners were actually transferred in the year 2013, but as they were relieved only in the year 2015, the entitlement points are computed only from the year 2015 i.e., from the date of working in the present place depriving weightage points for the two previous years.

3.

Admittedly, transfer exercise is not finalized. Rule-11 of the Rules, 2018 prescribes notification of seniority list. On publishing the seniority list according to Rule-12 of the Rules, 2018, objections can be filed before the District Educational Officer and the District Educational Officer should consider the objections and take appropriate decision.

4.

Since so far no objections are filed and no decision is made on the claim of the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to entertain the Writ Petition at this stage.

5.

Granting liberty to the petitioners to raise objections on computation of the entitlement points from the date of transfer instead of date of actual working, the Writ Petition is disposed of. It is needless to observe that if such objections are raised, the District Educational Officer shall consider the objections before finalizing the transfers.

Pending miscellaneous petitions shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
