Sudeshna Kar And Others v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

31.03 Ct. No.17 WPA 2133 of 2022 Sudeshna Kar & Ors.

Vs.

The State of W. B. & Ors.

g.b.

Mr. Abhratosh Majumdar Mr. Shuvro Prakash Lahiri .......For the Petitioners Mr. S. K. Patra Ms. Supriya Dubey .....For the SCC Mr. B. P. Vaisya Mr. Suman Dey ........For the State Mr. Joytosh Majumdar Mr. Sougata Mitra Mr. Rameshwar Sinha ......For the Respondent No.8 Mr. Tarak Nath Halder ......For the W.B. B. S. E.

Mr. Sahasranshu Bhattacharjee Mr. Suchindram Bhattacharjee ......For the Respondent No.7 The fundamental question involved in this matter is how one Assistant Headmistress can be transferred from one school to another school as Assistant Headmistress.

The school does not require any Assistant Headmistress as has been shown before me by the learned advocate for the petitioners and it was supported by the Managing Committee of the Kamala Vidyamandir High School for Girls (H.S.) that the school has now 355 students. An Assistant

Headmistress can be appointed if the students strength of the school is above 750 and not below that. Therefore, the school need not have any Assistant Headmistress and the Central School Service Commission is directed to post the Respondent No.8 as an assistant teacher in any other school by giving her pay protection which is to be looked into by the Commissioner of School Education as she was once selected as Assistant Headmistress of a school. The Respondent No.8 being the said Assistant Headmistress from today shall not be the Assistant Headmistress of Kamala Vidyamandir High School for Girls (H.S.) and she shall not sign any papers or documents including attendance register as the Assistant Headmistress of the school or as the Teacher-in-Charge of the school from today.

With this observation and direction this writ application is allowed.
