1. The petitioner's application seeking transfer stood rejected by the head of the institution on 30th August, 2021 on the ground that the petitioner was ineligible for transfer on account of not being within the ten percent limit of the total teachers' strength eligible for transfer.

2. The petitioner presses his application for transfer. It appears that nearly five years have elapsed from the date the application of the petitioner seeking transfer stood disallowed by the head of the institution. There may have been change in the staff strength of the school in the meantime.

3. In view of the above, the instant writ petition stands disposed of with the observation that it will be open for the petitioner to make fresh

offline application seeking transfer in the prescribed format disclosing the ground for the same.

4. In the event such an application is made, the same shall be considered by the head of the institution in accordance with law.

5. Steps shall be taken in the matter at the earliest but positively within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the application from the petitioner.

6. If the application of the petitioner is allowed, then necessary consequential steps shall be taken without any further delay.

7. The fate of the petitioner's application shall be made known to the petitioner.

8. Suspension of the Utsashree portal will not stand in the way of the respondents to consider the application for transfer made by the petitioner.
