IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

01.04.

Ct. No. 24 CONSTITUTIONAL WRIT JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE.

WPA 4151 of 2026 Ab Raman Hansda Vs.

The State of West Bengal and others.

--------------- Mr. Sudipta Dasgupta, Mr. Sandwip Sutradhar.

... for the petitioner.

1. The affidavit of service filed today is taken on record.

2. In spite of service, the School Authority is not represented.

3. The application of transfer made by the petitioner is not in an appropriate form nor before the appropriate forum. Such application has been made directly to the concerned District Inspector of Schools, instead of the school.

4. In view thereof, the application of the petitioner before the concerned District Inspector of Schools has not been considered and is pending.

5. Since such application is inconsequential and cannot be treated as a valid application, the petitioner is granted liberty to make fresh application in the appropriate format before the school authorities by April 15, 2026, which will be considered by the school authorities in accordance

with law and if found eligible will be forwarded to the concerned District Inspector of Schools with the requisite No Objection Certificate.

6. Temporary suspension of 'Utsashree Portal' will not be an impediment for the concerned authority to consider the application for transfer of the petitioner. The same shall be considered in an offline mode.

7. With these aforesaid directions, the writ petition is disposed of.

8. There shall, however, be no order as to costs.

9. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties on priority basis. (Reetobroto Kumar Mitra, J.)
