Affidavit-of-service filed in Court today is taken on record.

Leave granted to the advocate on record of the petitioners to implead the Secretary, West Bengal Board of Primary Education as party respondent in the instant writ petition. Let copy of the writ petition be served upon Mr. Ratul Biswas learned advocate who usually represents the Board before this Court.

The petitioners applied for mutual transfer. Their application is pending consideration at the end of the West Bengal Board of Primary Education.

Without going into the merits of the application, the instant writ petition is disposed of by directing the

Secretary, West Bengal Board of Primary Education to consider the said application in accordance with law, at the earliest, but positively within a period of 90 days from the date of communication of this order. A reasoned order shall be passed and communicated to the petitioners immediately thereafter.

As the petitioner no. 2 has already put in more than two years of service, accordingly, the Board will not insist upon production of the letter of confirmation from the petitioner no. 2 at the time of consideration of the application seeking transfer.

The Board shall seek the necessary information as regards the status of the teachers and the vacancy statement from the concerned District Primary School Council who shall immediately transfer the required data to the Board for compliance of the order passed hereinabove.

Learned advocate for the petitioners is directed to forward a copy of the application for seeking transfer to the aforesaid respondent at the time of communicating the order of the Court.

The writ petition stands disposed of.

Urgent certified photocopy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties expeditiously on compliance of usual legal formalities.
