No. 4887367/MA/2021, dated 17.9.2021 of the 4th Respondent is illegal, arbitrary, unjust and violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India and consequently set-aside the same.' 2. Brief facts, as averred in the writ petition, are as follows:- The petitioner was appointed as Secondary Grade Teacher on 15.08.1998. The 1st respondent issued G.O. Ms. No. 32, dated 04.06.2017 wherein certain Rules were framed for Teacher transfers. Rule 12 deals with the Preferential Categories. Rule 12(e) describes that the applicants with dependents, i.e., mother, father, children, spouse, who are mentally retorted and or undergoing treatment, shall be given preference in the seniority list irrespective of entitlement points. During general transfers of 2017, the applicant submitted his application under preferential category and got transferred to MPPS, Rayamalpuram Village, Nandyal Mandal. While so, basing on the complaint dated 20.8.2017 made by one Sri K. Satish Kumar, District President, Bahujan Teachers Federation, Kurnool District, the 3rd respondent issued show cause notice to the petitioner vide Rc. No. 3877/B1-B2/2019, dated 17.10.2020 calling for his explanation for submitting false information and claiming preferential points. On 26.8.2017, the D.E.O., Nandyal, has visited Kesava Reddy School, Balaji Complex, Nandyal, where the petitioner's son is studying and conducted detailed enquiry, and further requested the 3rd respondent to re-examine the Disabled Certificate of the petitioner's son in the presence of Doctors. Subsequently, the said K. Satish Kumar has made another complaint on 27.02.2018 against the petitioner on the same issue. Subsequently, the said K. Satish Kumar has made another complaint on 27.02.2018 against the petitioner on the same issue. Again, on 17.10.2020, the 3rd respondent addressed a letter to the Superintendent, GGH, Kurnool, with a request to re-examine the medical certificate produced by the petitioner in respect of his son and the said Superintendent conducted medical examination on 5.12.2020 and found that the petitioner's son was suffering from 'MILD MENTAL RETARDATION.' After receipt of the said medical certificate, the 3rd respondent issued proceeding dated 22.04.2021 stating that the allegations made by K. Satish Kumar are baseless and found that the petitioner has not committed any mistake in teacher transfers of 2017, as he produced the genuine medical certificate. Surprisingly, the said K. Satish Kumar made another complaint on 05.06.2021 on the same grounds. Thereafter, the 3rd respondent addressed a letter dated 04.08.2021 to the 4th respondent to re-examine the disabled certificate in the presence of State Medical Board for taking further action in the matter. Consequently, the 4th respondent issued proceedings in Rc. No. 4887363/MA/2021, dated 17.09.2021, wherein the Superintendent, Government Mental Care Hospital, Visakhapatnam, was requested to arrange for re-medical examination of the petitioner's son. Challenging these proceedings, the present writ petition is filed. 3. The District Educational Officer, Kurnool/3rd respondent herein filed counter-affidavit reiterating the facts as averred in the writ petition and further contended that the report is awaited from the Superintendent of Government Mental Care Hospital, Visakhapatnam, on the disability certificate of the petitioner's son. 4. Heard Ms. Kavitha Gottipati, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Services-III. Perused the material papers on record. 5. The petitioner, who is working as a Secondary Grade Teacher, submitted a transfer application and availed preferential category in the General Transfers of 2017 under Rule 12(e) of G.O. Ms. No. 32, dated 04.06.2017, as his son is suffering from permanent disability of mental retardation. In view of a complaint made by the District President, Bahujan Teachers Federation, Kurnool District, alleging that the petitioner misused the preferential category by producing a false certificate, a notice was issued to the petitioner. Thereafter, the Superintendent, Government General Hospital, Kurnool, conducted a medical examination on 05.12.2020 and issued a certificate to the effect that the petitioner's son was suffering from mild mental retardation. Thereafter, the Superintendent, Government General Hospital, Kurnool, conducted a medical examination on 05.12.2020 and issued a certificate to the effect that the petitioner's son was suffering from mild mental retardation. The 3rd respondent, by proceedings dated 22.04.2021, rejected the complaint as baseless while referring to the medical examination conducted on 05.12.2020. Again, entertaining the same complaint by the very same person, the impugned proceedings were issued for re-examination of the certificate in respect of the petitioner's son. 6. A perusal of record reveals that though the Superintendent, Government General Hospital, Kurnool, who is the competent authority, had conducted medical examination on 05.12.2020 and issued a certificate to the effect that the petitioner's son was suffering from mild mental retardation, the same person repeatedly made complaints against the petitioner. It is nothing but harassing the petitioner mentally. When once the competent authority/medical board issue a disabled certificate, it will become final and he cannot seek for re-medical examination from different Medical Boards again and again. On this ground, the impugned proceedings are liable to be set-aside. 7. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the proceedings in Rc. No. 3877/B1-B2/2020, dated 04.08.2021, issued by the 3rd respondent and consequential proceedings in Rc. No. 4887367/MA/2021, dated 17.9.2021 issued by the 4th respondent are set-aside. 8. Accordingly, the writ petition is allowed. No costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
