CORAM: HON’BLE Justice A. Muhamed Mustaque and Justice Shoba Annamma Eapen
Introduction
Recently, a Division Bench of the Kerala High Court affirmed a Single Judge’s decision to revoke a teacher employed by Corporate Managers’ transfer order.
Facts of the Case
After receiving complaints from pupils, the school manager filed an appeal against the quashing of the transfer order, claiming that the order was made because of the teacher’s wrongdoing.
Courts analysis and decision
The court emphasized that in order to avoid bias or prejudice during the transfer order-issuing process, natural justice principles must be incorporated into statute provisions. The writ appeal was therefore denied.
