G.S. SANDHAWALIA, J. –
1. The petitioner challenges the order dated 07.03.2021 (Annexure P-5), whereby he has been transferred to the Govt. Model Sanskriti Sr. Sec. School, Nuh, District Nuh-Mewat, by filing present civil writ petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, on the ground that the same is contrary to the guidelines and transfer policy (Annexures P-6 and P-9).
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that clause 3 of the Guidelines (Annexure P-6) has been violated as teachers shall be preferred whose board class results (10th and 12th classes) of last 3 years are not in minus as compared to board results. It is, thus, his contention that respondent No.4, who has been posted in his place at Tauru was wrongly done. It is his case that he has filed representation dated 10.03.2021 (Annexure P-10) to that extent.
3. Notice of motion.
