Affidavit of service filed in court today be kept on
record.
Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that
the petitioner has filed an application for transfer
through Utsashree portal on medical ground. The
certificate of the Medical Board of the District Hospital,
Howrah is at page 28 of the writ application. He
submits that the petitioner has also uploaded this
certificate issued by the Medical Board on 25.08.2021.
However, the school has returned her application on
the ground that she has completed less than five years
service. He further submits that when it is medical
ground, the question of five years' completion of service
in the school does not come into play.

Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that
there are guidelines for seeking transfer which have
been annexed as Annexure P-6 at pages 22 to 24 of the
writ application, wherefrom it appears that five years
completion of service is not applicable in respect of the
petitioner.
I direct the President and the Teacher-in-Charge,
Joypur Surangamayee Girls High School (H.S.), Joypur,
Uluberia, Howrah, being the respondent nos. 7 and 8,
to give an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner immediately by 24th December, 2021 and to pass a reasoned order and if it is found that the petitioner is entitled to get 'no objection' from the school that is to be given immediately to the petitioner so that she can take further steps for her transfer through Utsashree portal.
This matter is not disposed of. It will appear in the list on 5th January, 2022.
The petitioner is directed to serve a copy of this order upon the respondent nos. 7 and 8 immediately.
