……..for the petitioner
Ms. Koyeli Bhattacharyya
WBBSE
….for the
Mr. Kanak Kiran Bandyopadhyay
……..for the WBCSSC
Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the
petitioner is taken on record.
Matter relates to transfer of the petitioner
on medical ground.
The learned advocate representing the
petitioner submits that after preferring the
transfer application on medical ground on 17th
September, 2022 the same was processed by the
school authority where petitioner is presently
serving. Thereafter on receipt of such
application, the concerned District Inspector of
Schools upon taking necessary steps forwarded
the transfer application of the petitioner to the
West Bengal Central School Service Commission
2
for taking final decision on 7th December, 2022.
It is submitted that in spite of receiving transfer
application far back on 7th December, 2022 till
date said transfer application has not been
decided.
The West Bengal Board of Secondary
Education and West Bengal Central School
Service Commission are represented by the
learned advocates who have jointly submitted
that perhaps due to suspension of Utshasree
portal contemporaneous decision could not be
taken on the transfer application of the
petitioner.
However, it is submitted on behalf of the
Commission that if direction is given upon the
concerned authority of the Commission, 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 of the
Commission being the respondent no. 3 to
decide transfer application of petitioner in
accordance with law by four weeks from the date
of communication of this order and the decision
to be taken by the respondent no. 3 shall be
3
communicated to the petitioner by one week
thereafter.
It is made clear that transfer application of
the petitioner shall not be rejected due to
suspension of Utshasree portal.
There shall be, however, no order as to
costs.
Urgent photostat certified copy of this
order, if applied for, be given to the parties on
usual undertakings.
