O R D E R
The instant writ petition has been filed by a B.T. Assistant, challenging the order of the first respondent dated 27.12.2024, wherein, he has been removed from the additional charge of headmaster and headmaster from another School has been placed as in-charge.
2. A perusal of the impugned order reveals that since the headmaster of the Government High School, Thirunalur (South) had been transferred, the petitioner as a senior most B.T.Assiatant Teacher was given full additional charge as a Headmaster. However, due to some dispute, the present impugned order has been passed removing the petitioner from full additional charge of Headmaster and appointing one Smt.K.Santhi as the Headmaster in-charge of the said School. The said Santhi is Headmaster of near by school namely, Government High School, Pallathividuthi.
3. The order of removing the petitioner from full additional charge will not affect any of the service benefits of the writ petitioner. That apart, none of the juniors of the writ petitioner have been given full additional charge as a 2/4
Headmaster. In such circumstances, the petitioner cannot have any legal grievance over the appointment of Smt.K.Santhi as the in-charge Headmaster of the present School. In case, if the petitioner feels that she has been removed from the additional charge of Headmaster on certain allegations, it is for the writ petitioner to approach the authority with proper explanation.
4. With the above said observations, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
