Judgment :- Common Judgment S.J. MUKHOPADHAYA, Ac, C.J. In all these cases, as common question is involved and common order dated 211. 2008 passed by the learned single Judge in W.P.Nos.24781 to 24784 of 2008, is under challenge, they were heard together and disposed of by this common judgment. 2. The contesting respondents were Secondary Grade Assistant(s)/Teacher(s) and were posted as Warden/Matron in different School Hostels. All of them completed three years of service and were transferred by proceedings dated 10. 2008. The proceedings of transfer were challenged by the respondents-writ petitioners in their respective Writ Petitions on the ground that the transfer proceedings were against the guidelines issued in G.O.(Ms).No.63, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare (ADW-7) Department, dated 25. 2008. The learned single Judge, having noticed that the respondents-writ petitioners were transferred during the midst of the session, set aside the transfer proceedings with liberty to the appellant-State to transfer them in the next session, which starts in May-June 2009. 3. While the learned Government Pleader appearing for the appellant-State submitted that the decision of transferring the respondents-writ petitioners, was taken after proper counselling in the months of May-June 2008, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the contesting respondents-writ petitioners submitted that G.O.(Ms).No.63, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare (ADW-7) Department, dated 25. 2008, was binding on the authorities and they ought not to have transferred the respondents-writ petitioners in the midst of the session. According to the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the respondents-writ petitioners, the said G.O. mandates that no transfer should be made during the midst of the session. 4. We have heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant-State and the respondents-writ petitioners. .5. It is not in dispute that G.O.(Ms).No.63, Adi Dravidar and Tribal Welfare (ADW-7) Department, dated 25. 2008, is merely the guidelines to regulate the transfers and postings. That was issued with a view to safeguard the interest of the students in the Schools/Hostels. It was not made for the advantage of the Teachers to continue at one place and in administrative exigencies, it is always open for the authorities to transfer any Teacher, including the Teachers posted as Warden/Matron at any time even during the midst of the session. 6. It was not made for the advantage of the Teachers to continue at one place and in administrative exigencies, it is always open for the authorities to transfer any Teacher, including the Teachers posted as Warden/Matron at any time even during the midst of the session. 6. Learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the appellant-State has brought to the notice of the Court that the decision to transfer was taken after counselling in May-June 2008, i.e. during the months when such decision was taken. If that be so, mere issuance of the proceedings of transfer after few months will not render the proceedings of transfer illegal. 7. It is settled law that the transfer is an exigency of service. Normally, no Court of Law should entertain such orders/proceedings of transfer, which are issued in the exigencies of service, except in cases where they are issued without jurisdiction or because of mala-fide at the instance of one or other individual, that too, if it is shown and proved before Court by impleading the individual(s) as respondent(s) to the case(s). .8. In this connection, one may also refer to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of "Shilpi Bose vs. State of Bihar" reported in 1991 Supp (2) SCC 659 : AIR 1991 SC 532 , wherein, the Supreme Court held as follows: ."4. In our opinion, the courts should not interfere with a transfer order which is made in public interest and for administrative reasons unless the transfer orders are made in violation of any mandatory statutory rule or on the ground of mala fide. A government servant holding a transferable post has no vested right to remain posted at one place or the other, he is liable to be transferred from one place to the other. Transfer orders issued by the competent authority do not violate any of his legal rights. Even if a transfer order is passed in violation of executive instructions or orders, the courts ordinarily should not interfere with the order instead affected party should approach the higher authorities in the department. If the courts continue to interfere with day-to-day transfer orders issued by the government and its subordinate authorities, there will be complete chaos in the administration which would not be conducive to public interest. The High Court overlooked these aspects in interfering with the transfer orders." 9. If the courts continue to interfere with day-to-day transfer orders issued by the government and its subordinate authorities, there will be complete chaos in the administration which would not be conducive to public interest. The High Court overlooked these aspects in interfering with the transfer orders." 9. In view of the observations of the Supreme Court and our findings as above, we cannot uphold the impugned common order dated 211. 2008 passed by the learned single Judge in W.P.Nos.24781 to 24784 of 2008 and accordingly set aside the same. 10. However, we give one opportunity to the respondents-writ petitioners to give their option for posting as Teacher(s) in one or other School, and if such application is filed within a week, the competent authority may consider the same and then find out whether they can accommodate them. 11. The Writ Appeals are allowed with the aforesaid observations. No costs. The Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
