The State of West Bengal & Others Mr. Shuvro Prokash Lahiri, Adv.

Mr. Rajesh Naskar, Adv.

Ms. Indrani Roy, Adv.

Mr. Ankan Mondal, Adv.

...for the Petitioner Mr. Nirmalya Biswas, Adv.

...for the State Mr. Sunit Kumar Roy, Adv.

...for W.B.C.S.S.C.

Affidavit-of-service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record.

Petitioner has made an application for transfer on Utsashree portal on 26th August, 2022 on general ground (distance).

The grievance of the petitioner is in spite of forwarding transfer application by the concerned District Inspector of Schools (S.E.) to the concerned authority of the West Bengal Central School Service Commission for taking decision on 31st August, 2022 through portal, till date transfer application of the petitioner has not been decided. Respondents are represented by learned advocates, who have jointly submitted that due to suspension of portal with effect from 29th September, 2022, contemporaneous decision could not be taken on transfer application of the petitioner.

On behalf of West Bengal Central School Service Commission, it is submitted that if concerned authority is

directed, transfer application of the petitioner shall be decided, in accordance with law.

Having considered the submissions made on behalf of the parties, writ petition stands disposed of directing the Chairman, West Bengal Central School Service Commission being respondent no.4 to decide the transfer application of the petitioner by six (6) weeks from the date of communication of this order and the decision to be communicated to the petitioner by ten (10) days thereafter. However, it is made clear that transfer application of the petitioner shall not be rejected on the ground of suspension of portal.

Urgent photostat certified copy of the order, if applied for, be given to the parties, upon usual undertakings.
