O R D E R

By consent of both sides, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. 2.The case of the petitioner is that the petitioner joined as Elementary School Secondary Grade Teacher on 30.01.1984. Thereafter, she was promoted as BT Teacher to teach Mathematics.

Subsequently, she was promoted as Headmaster. Thereafter, she was promoted as AAEEO (now called as BEO) on 05.08.2016, at Kancheepuram District. Then she was transferred and posted as AAEEO-II, Peranamallur Block, Vandavasi Taluk, Thiruvannamalai District. Due to family circumstances she has opted to work as Headmaster instead of AAEEO.BEO, inter alia, both were considered equal cadre. Now the Government has changed the BEO post as a promotional post and due to change of circumstances in her family, she has requested the 1st respondent to consider for the promotion of BEO vide representation dated 19.07.2019. Since the vacancies are about to fill up. Hence, the petitioner is before this Court.
